For the second-straight series, the New York Knicks blew out their opponent in a series-ending game, this time defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 144-114.
The New York win completes a four-game sweep over Philadelphia and makes it seven-straight playoff wins this postseason. Now, the Knicks await their opponent as they return to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they lost last season.
The Knicks' success is a thrill for New York fans, who have made a habit out of of traveling with the team to cut into opposing crowds. After Knicks fans were well-represented in Philadelphia during their first-round matchup in 2024, the 76ers were hoping to block out New Yorkers from making the short trip south.
Ultimately, though, Knicks fans were even louder this time around. During the Game 4 blowout, with the 76ers facing a steep 3-0 deficit, it seemed as though the Knicks had more fans at the road game than their opponent, making for a raucous environment in the blowout.
Here's how the Knicks took over Xfinity Mobile Arena on Sunday.

Knicks fans invade Philadelphia
Leading up to Games 3 and 4 of this series, the 76ers tried to make sure Knicks fans didn't take over Xfinity Mobile Arena. That included pleas from Joel Embiid, giving free tickets to select community groups and preventing anyone outside of Philadelphia from buying tickets.
However, none of that worked this weekend, as Knicks fans were noticeably loud throughout Games 3 and 4. New York's dominant performance certainly played a role as well, since Sixers fans had very little to cheer about on Sunday afternoon.

I have never experienced an environment like this in my life. It's louder for the Knicks than MSG is.

At the beginning of the game, when Deuce McBride caught fire from three, New York fans produced loud "Deuce" chants through the 76ers fan energy.

The blowout game was also the perfect environment for Knicks fans to troll the 76ers for 2.5 hours, which included booing their mascot.

The Knicks will have time off as they await either the Pistons or Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Whomever they play, it's unlikely the road environments will be this friendly, especially with fans having to travel farther to either Detroit or Cleveland.
