Former Sixers guard Landry Shamet makes impact as Knicks beat Spurs

Former members of the Philadelphia 76ers continue to make big impacts on the game’s biggest stage. The NBA Finals continued on Friday with the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs doing battle for the Larry O’Brien trophy and a former Sixer made his presence felt.

Former Sixers guard Landry Shamet, a 2018 draft pick by Philadelphia, hopped off the bench and gave the Knicks 13 points. He knocked down three triples to help New York take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series with a tight 105-104 win in Game 2.

The Knicks saw a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter disappear, but they rallied once again to earn the win. They’ve now won 13 straight in these playoffs and are two wins away from their first championship since 1973.
