Adding insult to injury is usually not great but sometimes it can serve as a wake-up call. The New York Knicks are now heading to their second-straight Eastern Conference Finals after bouncing the Philadelphia 76ers out of the NBA Playoffs. But, there was not much resistance from the the Joel Embiid-led squad in the 144-114 demolition. Josh Hart even threw some shade at Philly fans because only a few came despite it being a home game for them.
Hart gets real on 76ers fans not showing up vs. Knicks
Beating a team like the Boston Celtics while being down 3-1 in the NBA Playoffs usually means a lot of fans want to see how the NBA Playoffs work out. This was not at all the case for the 76ers when they entered their series with the Knicks. A few only came into Madison Square Garden which was not at all a surprise but it became odd to see more Knicks fans in the 76ers home court. The fact that it was a win-or-go-home Game 4 also played a big factor.
