The New York Knicks are moving on to the next round, and their fanbase wasn’t stopped from coming to their Game 6 victory over the 76ers in Philadelphia.
Sixers owners and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin bought over 2,000 tickets to hand out to first responders and others in order to fill up the Wells Fargo Center with the team’s own fans, but Knicks die-hards still traveled and made themselves heard with an NSFW chant aimed at Joel Embiid after the win.
Also, you had Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau answering a question about the hostile environment in Philly with this: “Was it hostile?”
Exactly. Here are the videos (WARNING: NSFW language ahead!):
