Knicks fans took over the Wells Fargo in Philadelphia for Game 4 this past Sunday, making it sound like a home game for New York. And Sixers ownership -- past and present -- is doing something to try to prevent that from happening again.
The Sixers ownership group of Josh Harris, David Blitzer, and David Adelman, and Fanatics CEO and former co-owner Michael Rubin, will be buying more than 2,000 tickets to give out.
"The tickets will be distributed to first responders, health care professionals, community groups and other local Philadelphia-based organizations to harness the intensity and excitement for tomorrow's crucial showdown with the New York Knicks," 76ers spokesperson Dave Sholler said.
The move comes after Knicks fans not only took over the arena during the Knicks' crucial Game 4 victory, but enveloped the surrounding area after.
Following Game 4, Sixers star Joel Embiid was very unhappy with the amount of Knicks fans in the building.
"Disappointing," Embiid said after the game. "I love our fans. Think it's unfortunate. And I'm not calling them out, but it is disappointing. Obviously, you've got a lot of Knicks fans and they're down the road. Never seen it, and I've been here for 10 years.
"Kind of pisses me off, especially because Philly is considered a sports town. So they've always shown up, and I don't think that should happen. It's not OK."
Game 6 is Thursday at 9 p.m.
If necessary, Game 7 will be played on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.

As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
