Emilee Chinn / Getty Images The New York Knicks are now one win away from completing a second-round sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers after taking down Philly 108-94 on Friday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Joel Embiid returned to the lineup after missing Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series with ankle and hip injuries, finishing with 18 points, six rebounds and five assists, but New York’s duo of Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges proved too much to overcome. Brunson once again controlled the pace for the Knicks, finishing with 33 points, five rebounds and nine assists, while Bridges added 23 points of his own. Philadelphia looked in control early and even built a 12-point lead, but the Knicks answered with multiple scoring runs that completely shifted the momentum as Knicks fans in attendance in Philly cheered them on.
