Tyrese Maxey laments Knicks' takeover of 76ers' arena: 'It absolutely sucks'
Knicks fans took over the 76ers' home arena during the NBA playoffs, leading Tyrese Maxey to say, "I can’t even lie. It definitely does suck."
The New York Knicks didn’t just embarrass the Philadelphia 76ers on the court Sunday, closing out a sweep of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals , but they humiliated them in the stands too. Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia was mobbed by orange-and-blue-wearing Knicks fans who made their presence known. Tyrese Maxey hated it.
The 76ers ’ All-Star guard did not mince words after the Knicks’ 144-114 victory eliminated Philadelphia. “It absolutely sucks, if I am being honest,” Maxey said. “It just sucks.
That’s really all I can say about it, man. ” The Knicks fans made the trip to Philadelphia in force. They drowned out the home crowd, and the players noticed.
“I was telling them, it felt louder here for them than it did in the Garden,” Maxey said. “We got to put a stop to it as a team. Winning these games, that’s gonna make our fans louder than theirs or whatever.
