What happened: The New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 108-94 on Friday night to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Jalen Brunson led New York with 33 points and nine assists, while Mikal Bridges added 23 points to secure the road win.

Why it matters: No team in NBA history has ever recovered from a 3-0 series deficit, putting New York one win away from their first conference finals since 2000. Despite Joel Embiid returning from injury, Philadelphia was doomed by a 25-0 disparity in bench scoring.

What to watch: The Sixers look to avoid a sweep in Game 4 on Sunday, May 10, at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
