The Sixers struggled against the Knicks despite battling through exhaustion following their Game 7 win over the Boston Celtics just days prior. Kelly Oubre Jr. acknowledged the lack of rest and practice, suggesting a recovery day would have helped prepare the team better.
Rookie VJ Edgecombe, however, emphasized that the team must control its response regardless of the schedule. With the series shifting back to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4, the Sixers must quickly adjust to avoid further struggles. xsportfeed.quest
