Joel Embiid disappointed at large contingent of Knicks fans in Philadelphia
Fred Katz: Joel Embiid calls the Knicks fans in the building in Philly “disappointing.” More: “I love our fans. Think it’s unfortunate and I’m not calling them out, but it is disappointing. Obviously you got a lot of Knicks fans and they’re down the road and I’ve never seen it, and I’ve been here for 10 years. Yeah, it kind of pisses me off, especially because Philly is considered a sports town. They’ve always shown up and I don’t think that should happen. Yeah. It’s not okay.”

Joel Embiid disappointed by the Game 4 crowd, understanding Knicks fans do come to Philadelphia.

Joel Embiid was limited to just one point in the final 12 minutes as the New York Knicks head home with a commanding series lead.

Joel Embiid is 0-4 in the fourth quarter so far. He’s made 1 of 2 from the free-throw line. Knicks are up 5 with 5.2 seconds to play in Game 4. Great defense on Embiid from OG Anunoby and Precious Achuiwa, who blocked Embiid on a layup attempt with 27 seconds to play & NYK up 4. – 3:51 PM

Joel Embiid just looked baseline, where Allen iverson Dawn Staley and Dr. J are sitting, pointed at Isaiah Hartenstein and shook his head as if to say he can’t guard me. Hartenstein how has 4 fouls, two on back-to-back possessions guarding Embiid. – 2:53 PM

Wasted possession after wasted possession in this quarter.
Embiid been at the center of a few of them — with your halfcourt defense as good as it has been, you can’t give the Knicks this many opportunities to get into early and transition offense. Don’t like their pace either – 2:49 PM

Josh Hart called for 4th foul as he makes move and maybe catches Lowry with an elbow — hard to tell because of the dive that Lowry takes. But nerviest move is Embiid calling for a review – which they get. Replay – no windup, no follow through, common foul. – 2:39 PM
