The Sixers are in Gotham for Game Two of their best-of-seven series against the host Knicks. New York won Game One 111 to 104 and they certainly hope to take Game Two before making their trip to Philly. In Game One with Embiid on the floor the Sixers were plus fourteen, but he left near the end of the second quarter and the game turned to the Knicks. The two keys to the Knicks victory were they outrebounded the Sixers 55 to 33 and shot a blistering forty-five percent from behind the arc. The Sixers will need to make adjustments for Game Two and its highly unlikely the Knicks will shoot forty-five percent from long range again.
