Kyle Lowry explains what Sixers have to do to bounce back vs. Knicks

[ASFN Admin]

The Philadelphia 76ers are in a tough position as they trail the New York Knicks 0-2 in Round 2 as they look for ways to bounce back. The series now shifts south to the Xfinity Mobile Arena for Game 3 on Friday and Philadelphia needs a win to avoid the dreaded 0-3 hole--a position that no team in NBA history has ever rallied from to win a series.

The Sixers had their chances in Game 2 as they held a slim lead in the fourth quarter, but then went ice cold the rest of the way. Tyrese Maxey and Paul George combined to shoot 2-for-12 in the fourth and the Sixers shot 4-for-19 as a team in the final frame as the Knicks finished them off. Philadelphia was right there in the game. It just comes down to the fact that New York made its looks and the Sixers didn't.

Veteran Kyle Lowry joined the Amazon Prime NBA crew on Thursday night and gave his thoughts on what the Sixers need to do to bounce back in this series:

For us, it's a long series, right? They did what they were supposed to do at home, but for us, we made some adjustments. We felt really good about what we did in Game 2. Game 3's gonna be different, of course. We're gonna be home. We gotta protect our house. Tyrese will be ready to go. Paul will be ready to go. I think we'll make a few more adjustments and then, you know, bw out there and do our job.

The Sixers will look to get back on track and get back into this series in Game 3 on Friday night when they host the Knicks at 7 p.m. EDT.
