Game 4 of the series between Philadelphia 76ers e New York Knicks saw the presence of many visiting fans.
A peculiar situation for NBA basketball, where travel is also very difficult because of the considerable distances between cities. Philly and NY, however, are relatively close, and in the previous act at the Wells Fargo Center there were many Knicks supporters. Fans who made themselves heard and dragged their team to victory, as also pointed out by Joel Embiid, the target of many jeering choruses from New Yorkers. It should be noted that on average for this series (but generally for all contests) coupons for games in Philadelphia cost less than half as much as those for matches played in the Big Apple.
The final flare-up of Tyrese Maxey allowed the Sixers to win at Madison Square Garden and go home. So the 76ers’ majority shareholders took action to get their team to play the game for real at home. Josh Harris, David Blitzer, David Adelman, and Michael Rubin (CEO of Fanatics) joined forces to buy approx. 2000 tickets from different channels. These coupons, they let the franchise know, will be given away to health workers and nonprofits in the city to further engage the local community.
A nice gesture of solidarity that is also meant to give the players an extra boost in their attempt to tie the series.
