New ESPN story: After the Philadelphia 76ers saw a precious road win slip through their fingers in the most dramatic of fashions in Game 2, Joel Embiid delivered a guarantee for what lies ahead.

“We’re good,” Embiid said. “We’re going to win this series.”

I still can’t believe how the Knicks game ended. What an insane atmosphere.

The moment with DiVincenzo and the crowd on the court after the game was something else. Just a wild night, and what’s been a wild series already through two games.

I think tonight made up for the boring opening weekend of playoff games.

Joel Embiid, on how his team can bounce back from this loss:

“We’re good. We’re going to win this series.

“We are going to win this. We know what we got to fix. We did a better job today, so we are going to fix it.

'We are the better team. We're going to keep fighting.”

The 76ers plan to file a grievance with the NBA over the officiating across the first two games of this series, a team spokesperson told ESPN.

Tyrese Maxey said he took some medicine, including an IV, and doesn’t feel great.

“I wasn’t missing this game.”

Nick Nurse said he called timeout before the ball was inbounded and as it was inbounded to Tyrese Maxey, and it wasn’t granted.

Said the team played well and improved in a bunch of areas, but obviously that was a difficult loss. “It makes the series a little longer.”

Donte DiVincenzo is being interviewed on the court and it is so loud it was impossible to hear anything.

Eventually, DiVincenzo said, 'Listen to this. This is what we do. This is who we do it for.'

Final: Knicks 104, Sixers 101.

Philadelphia had a 5 point lead with less than a minute to go, but the Knicks make an insane comeback with back-to-back 3s to take a 2-0 lead in this series.

Kyle Lowry also got hurt late, and is walking very slowly off the court. Crazy scene.

Tyrese Maxey with a jumper to give Philadelphia the lead, and then a huge 3-pointer off an assist from Joel Embiid to give the 76ers a 100-96 lead with 1:09 remaining. Maxey, who was questionable this morning, has 35 – including 15 in the fourth.

ESPN Sources: A mediation session has been set for May 1 in Minneapolis in the Timberwolves’ ownership dispute between Glen Taylor and the Marc Lore/Alex Rodriguez group. Taylor ended ownership transition when he said Lore/ARod failed to meet deadlines on sales conditions.

Bojan Bogdanovic hits back-to-back 3s and New York jumps out to an 85-78 lead here in the fourth quarter.

Philly trying to take advantage of the non-Brunson minutes with both Maxey and Embiid on the court but Knicks are plus-2 so far in this stint.

After 3: Knicks 79, 76ers 74

Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo are a combined 7-for-11 from 3.

The rest of the team? 0-for-10.

Philly has 49 points from Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, and has done a tremendous job on the offensive glass so far, outrebounding the Knicks there.

Joel Embiid is coming back in here for the final 29 seconds of the third quarter.

Philly was -5 with him on the bench in 3.5 minutes.

And Jalen Brunson immediately attacks Paul Reed and gets a bucket to give New York its first lead of the game.

Knicks 68, 76ers 67 with 4 minutes to go in the 3rd.

Joel Embiid checking out earlier than usual here in the third quarter. Philly was even in his minutes on the bench in the first half.

Pretty huge swing there for the Knicks – Thibodeau wins a challenge on what would've been free throws for Kyle Lowry, and then the ensuing jump ball turns into a fast break that causes Lowry to commit his fourth foul, and Knicks make two free throws.

Philly up 1 midway thru 3

Both after Game 1 and before Game 2, Nick Nurse talked about being happy with the process for Philadelphia when it came to leaving certain shooters open.

But now that Josh Hart has gone 8-for-9 from 3 since partway through the fourth of Game 1, we'll see if it changes.

Halftime: Sixers 53, Knicks 49

Josh Hart was the story of the first half, going for 19 points on 4-for-5 shooting from 3 to keep New York in the game.

Tyrese Maxey had 20 & Joel Embiid 16 for Philly, which won the offensive rebounding (7-5) and 2nd chance points (8-3) battles.

After throwing in a double-pump three in transition, Josh Hart now has four threes in the first half.

Last game, he hit three in the fourth quarter, and four in the game – the first time he'd made more than three in a game all season.
