\n

The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> did all they could to keep their home arena filled with their own crowd, but that did not stop New York Knicks fans from taking the New Jersey Turnpike south.<\/p>\n

Knicks fans invaded Xfinity Mobile Arena as they took a commanding 3-0 lead over the Sixers<\/a> in the second round of the Eastern Conference semifinals, but Joel Embiid seemed to believe that some Knicks bias was on the floor as well.<\/p>\n

Embiid pointed out that the Knicks had twice as many free-throw attempts (32) as the 76ers did (16).<\/p>\n

“I guess it\u2019s good when New York wins,” Embiid said in an apparent shot at the officials.<\/p>\n

“Maybe (some potential fouls) was let go or not. They shot 32 free throws, we had 16. We\u2019re not a team that shoots a lot of 3s. We attack, put the ball on the ground. I don\u2019t know,” he added.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve just got to have that mentality of just not fouling, I guess, and being smart enough to not put ourselves in a position where they\u2019re going to take advantage of it.”<\/p>\n

Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges made consecutive baskets that pushed the Knicks’ fourth-quarter lead to 92-84. Jalen Brunson, the stone-cold shooter built for these moments, buried a 3 from the top of the arc that made it 95-86 during a 9-0 Knicks run, to the delight of the visiting fans.<\/p>\n

Embiid\u00a0openly pleaded\u00a0with fans ahead of the series not to sell their tickets to New Yorkers. The Sixers limited sales to those in the Philly area while also donating hundreds of tickets to local first responders.<\/p>\n

But thousands of Knicks fans, including Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Ben Stiller and Spike Lee still got inside.<\/p>\n

The Knicks<\/a> will go for the sweep on Sunday in Philly.<\/p>\n
