Four games after predicting Philadelphia would threaten New York, Jason Gay called his 76ers take “catastrophically wrong” and issued a public apology.
A 4-0 Knicks sweep left little ambiguity: New York won Game 1 by 39 points and took the series by an average margin of 22.3.
Gay said he had been swayed by the Sixers’ seven-game upset of Boston, expecting Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey to carry that momentum into Madison Square Garden.
Embiid then missed Game 2, Philadelphia “surrendered on the spot,” and the Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference finals while the Sixers headed into another offseason reset.
