BOSTON \u2014 The Sixers must swiftly turn the page to Round 2.<\/p>\n
After the elation of their Game 7 win Saturday night over the Celtics<\/a>, the No. 7 seed Sixers will prepare to face the No. 3 seed Knicks. Game 1 is set for Monday night at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re a really great team,\u201d VJ Edgecombe said. \u201cThey\u2019ve obviously played together for a minute, so they have good chemistry. They play hard. We\u2019ve just got to go in there and do the same thing. Match their energy, match their intensity and may the best team win.\u201d<\/p>\n Below is the full schedule for the best-of-seven series. Start times and broadcasters are TBD for (potential) Games 5 through 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n Game 1: Monday, May 4 at 8 p.m. ET: Sixers at Knicks on NBC and Peacock<\/p>\n Game 2: Wednesday, May 6 at 7 p.m. ET: Sixers at Knicks on ESPN<\/p>\n Game 3: Friday, May 8 at 7 p.m. ET: Sixers vs. Knicks on Amazon Prime\u00a0<\/p>\n Game 4: Sunday, May 10 at 3:30 p.m. ET: Sixers vs. Knicks on ABC\u00a0<\/p>\n Game 5: Tuesday, May 12: Sixers at Knicks\u00a0<\/p>\n Game 6: Thursday May 14: Sixers vs. Knicks<\/p>\n Game 7: Sunday, May 17: Sixers at Knicks\u00a0<\/p>\n The Sixers split their four-game regular-season series with the Knicks and neither team won at home. Edgecombe was outstanding in the Sixers\u2019 two wins at the Garden.<\/a><\/p>\n The Knicks and Sixers last met in the playoffs in 2024. New York won an extremely tight, dramatic six-game series.\u00a0<\/p>\n Joel Embiid got the Sixers their first win with a 50-point Game 3 performance.<\/a> The Sixers forced Game 6 with a memorable, borderline miraculous overtime victory in which Tyrese Maxey scored 46 points.<\/a> They couldn\u2019t quite extend the series to a seventh game.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 2025-26 Knicks went 53-29 during the regular season. While the Sixers are a hot, confident group, they clearly respect what New York will bring to the table.<\/p>\n \u201cTheir starting lineup is incredible,\u201d Sixers head coach Nick Nurse said. \u201cI think they continue to bolster their bench. They can play in a variety of ways with one big, two bigs. (Jalen) Brunson is obviously a big problem. Their rebounding is a big problem. I think they\u2019re a much bigger team in general than what we just saw.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI think they\u2019re very, very good. I think it\u2019s going to be a tremendous challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BOSTON \u2014 The Sixers must swiftly turn the page to Round 2.
