NBA Playoffs: Spurs Advance, Knicks Take 3-2 Lead, 76ers Stay Alive

Reese, Pam and Alex discuss last night’s NBA playoff action, including standout performances and key series developments across the league. In last night’s NBA playoff action, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Boston Celtics in a hard-fought matchup, with Joel Embiid leading the way thanks to a strong all-around performance, scoring efficiently and controlling the paint on both ends. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks beat the Atlanta Hawks, using tough defense and timely scoring runs to pull ahead, with their core players stepping up when it mattered most. In addition, the San Antonio Spurs advanced in their series by defeating the Portland Trail Blazers, closing out the matchup and moving on to the next round. They now await the winner of the series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets. Are the Spurs a threat to OKC? Can the Knicks close out Atlanta? Can Embiid be the difference in the Sixers-Celtics series?
