Saving Hield for Game 6. Brilliant!
.@buddyhield scored 17 points in the second quarter, connecting on 5-7 threes. His 5 3s are tied for the most by a @sixers player in a playoff half since at least '97. Hield has 7 quarters in his @NBA career w/ 17+ pts. This is his first ever in the postseason. h/t @Stathead

Halftime. Sixers lead the Knicks 54-51. • Brunson 16-2-3 • DiVincenzo 12-3-3 • Hartenstein 10 & 6 • Embiid 17 & 8 • Hield 17 pts, 5-7 3Ps Knicks once led 33-11.
Good for Buddy Hield
54-51 Sixers lead heading into the. They outscored New York 32-13 in the 2nd. Embiid has 17/8 on 5-10 shooting, and has been orchestrating the Sixers' offense from the post. He's handled the double teams very well. Biggest beneficiary of that has been Buddy Hield (17 on 5-7).
That was something. Knicks go up 22 - now trail 54-51 at the half with Buddy Hield, who had 2 points the first 5 games, scoring 17 with 5 3's.
Buddy Hield in the 2nd Quarter: 17 Points 5/7 FGM 5/7 3PM 2/2 FTM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 https://t.co/69OpHRVyc7
HALFTIME: Sixers 54, Knicks 51. This series continues to be absolute insanity. Embiid with 17 and eight, but Buddy Hield's 17 points on 5-of-7 shooting has been the story of the night.
this is why @FredKatz and I had an extended convo about buddy hield on his podcast the other day
CHAVANO RAINER HIELD.

Sixers lead Knicks 54-51 at half. What’s your thoughts?
Crowd is chanting "Buddy, Buddy, Buddy" as Hield hit a pair of foul shots to give the Sixers 51-49 lead. He was 14 points all in the second quarter.

Buddy Hield connects for 3 and the Philly crowd is on their feet. 😮💨 The 76ers come storming back from a double-digit deficit in the 2nd quarter. 👀 (🎥: @TSN_Sports) https://t.co/rnIgxT5FMB
Embiid certainly owed Maxey after Game 5 — he has put him in the backpack this half. What a turnaround for the Sixers. Buddy Hield coming out of cold storage for a monster game
Just another Knicks game.
