VJ Edgecombe and the Philadelphia 76ers discuss being ready to rally from being down 0-3 against the New York Knicks in Round 2.

CAMDEN, N. J. -- The Philadelphia 76ers will be staring elimination in the face on Sunday afternoon when they play host to the New York Knicks in Game 4 of Round 2.

The Sixers trail the Knicks 3-0--a deficit no team in NBA history has ever rallied from to win--and will need to stare down elimination four times and come out on top each time to advance in these playoffs. The Sixers did just rally from being down 3-1 against the Boston Celtics in Round 1 of the playoffs, but 3-0 is much different than 3-1. This team knows it, but the Sixers also aren't running from it either.

"A series is never over until someone wins four games," said rookie VJ Edgecombe. "Weโ€™re gonna continue to go out there and play hard. Clean up the little mistakes that we've made in previous games and just go from there.

" "Weโ€™re present in a moment," said Edgecombe. "We know it's not easy. It's not easy at all.
