You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The New York Knicks are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals after dismantling Philadelphia one-forty-four to one-fourteen Sunday, a record-setting blowout that sent Philly home in a sweep. Knicks fans packed Xfinity Mobile Arena once again, and Josh Hart had no problem rubbing it in, saying quote, Philly was a sports town, past tense.
Meanwhile out West, Victor Wembanyama's playoff run hit a serious speed bump. The Spurs phenom was ejected for the first time in his career after throwing an elbow at Timberwolves forward Naz Reid's throat early in the second quarter of Game Four. Frustration getting the better of the generational talent at the worst possible moment in a tight second-round series.
And speaking of the Sixers, Joel Embiid says he feels, quote, as confident as I've ever been about his knee heading into the offseason. After being held to just thirty-eight games this season, Embiid insists he's stopped thinking about the injury entirely. Whether that translates to a full campaign next year remains the real question for Philadelphia.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
