Part 2/6:
One of the critical factors for the Knicks' success was their composure. Many teams that lose a late lead in regulation often falter during overtime, but the Knicks managed to keep their collective cool. Jalen Brunson, the team captain, played a pivotal role, hitting several crucial shots early in the overtime period. This offensive push, coupled with their staunch defensive efforts, ultimately helped the Knicks seal the deal against a determined Sixers squad, even in the absence of star player Joel Embiid.
