First, the Flyers were swept in the second round of their playoffs by the Hurricanes, losing the last two games at home. Now the 76ers have done the same, after the Knicks humiliated them in a 144-114 Game 4 win Sunday at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
Even worse, the arena sounded like a Knicks home game, with so many of their fans in attendance. The Sixers organization and players pleaded with their fans ahead of the series to not sell their tickets on the open market to Knicks fans, but apparently the money talked.
Knicks forward Josh Hart rubbed it in postgame: "I used to think Philly was a sports town. I don't know if it is anymore."
