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.

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. Josh Hart saw this unfold and it had him disheartened.
