76ers force Game 6 against New York Knicks with dramatic overtime victory as Tyrese

The New York Knicks failed to close out a opening playoff series win Tuesday after the Philadelphia 76ers‘ comeback win in Game 5. 

The Knicks had the chance to seal a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals for a second consecutive year as they hosted the Sixers in front of a celebrity filled Madison Square Garden and were seconds away from doing so. 

However, Tyrese Maxey came up clutch for Philadelphia as his game-tying three from the logo in the dying seconds of regulation forced the game into a dramatic overtime finish. 

The Knicks had held a three-point lead with under ten seconds remaining when Maxey performed his MSG miracle to tie the game at 97 points apiece.
