"New York, they had a game plan: They double every single possession," Embiid said. He added that he simply tried to "keep making the right passes, the right plays over and over and over," and that "it ended up paying off at times, and at times we missed a lot of wide-open ones."

The Philadelphia 76ers are back at home on Thursday to play host to the New York Knicks facing elimination once again. The Sixers were able to come up with an impressive win in Game 5 to stave off elimination and will have to do so again in Game 6.
