Joel Embiid claims the Philadelphia 76ers are still going to win the series against the New York Knicks.
After clinching a spot in the postseason by beating the Miami Heat in the NBA Play-In Tournament, the Sixers have seen their hot streak cool down after losing their first two games against the New York Knicks in round one.
Leading up to Game 2, Embiid was questionable, but he was cleared for action. The All-Star big man played nearly 40 minutes on Monday, producing 34 points, ten rebounds, and six assists. Following the game, Joel Embiid expressed his disappointment in the results of his team’s effort thus far.While Embiid understands the Sixers’ backs are against the wall as they head home for the next two games, he’s confident they will find the results they searching for.
With just two matchups of a possible seven-game series down, there is plenty of time left for Philadelphia to turn things around, hence Embiid’s confident mentality. However, the Sixers have struggled to prove they are truly the better team over the Knicks this season.
