The New York Knicks complete a second-round sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers with a 144-114 Game 4 win, and guard Josh Hart makes remarks that draw attention for their criticism of Philadelphia’s sports atmosphere. Multiple outlets report that Hart says he “used to think Philly was a sports town,” implying that fans were less present or less supportive than he expected. The Athletic adds context from the 2024 playoff matchup between the teams, when Knicks fans are described as taking over in Philadelphia and Joel Embiid reportedly urged the situation. Other reporting focuses on the timing and location of Hart’s comment, noting that Game 4 is played in Philadelphia as a road game for the Knicks. Together, the sources describe the sweep result—New York’s decisive, lopsided performance in Game 4—and Hart’s postgame statements that challenge perceptions of Philadelphia’s sports culture. The articles do not report that Hart faced immediate league discipline, but they emphasize that the comments sparked discussion among fans.
