Following a thrilling victory on the road in Game 5 at Madison Square Garden, the Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up to host Game 6 against the New York Knicks. The tip-off time for the pivotal matchup has now been confirmed.
As the Sixers secured a crucial win, the timing of their Game 6 clash with the Knicks was initially uncertain, contingent on the outcome of the series between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers.
Despite the possibility of an earlier start, with the Pacers potentially sealing the deal against the Bucks, Milwaukee’s triumph in Game 5 extended the series. Consequently, the Eastern Conference showdown between the Sixers and the Knicks is slated for a later start time.

Set for Thursday night, the game will tip-off at 9 PM ET, a somewhat unusual timing for two East Coast teams in the opening round of the playoffs. Nevertheless, the Sixers are eager for the opportunity to extend the series after a challenging start.
Having rallied from a 0-2 deficit to secure their first win last Thursday, the Sixers faced a setback in Game 4 despite a spirited performance. However, Tuesday’s overtime victory, led by Tyrese Maxey, has injected fresh energy into the Sixers as they aim to force a decisive Game 7 on home turf.
