The New York Knicks didn't just beat the Philadelphia 76ers—they dominated them, sweeping the series in emphatic fashion. And after the final buzzer, Knicks guard Josh Hart didn't hold back, taking a subtle jab at the 76ers fan base that left much to be desired.

"Everybody was begging Philly to not sell their tickets. I used to think Philly was a sports town—I don't know if it is anymore," Hart said, via SNY, after the Knicks' 144-114 demolition in Game 4.

The numbers back up Hart's sentiment. Despite a win-or-go-home atmosphere at Wells Fargo Center, the arena was filled with more blue and orange than red, white, and blue. For a team that once prided itself on one of the most passionate fan bases in sports, seeing Knicks supporters outnumber the home crowd was a stark reality check.

On the court, the series was never truly competitive. The 76ers' closest call came in Game 2, a six-point loss. The rest? A 39-point blowout in Game 1, a 14-point defeat in Game 3, and the 30-point exclamation point to close it out. Tyrese Maxey admitted postgame that Philadelphia simply wasn't prepared for what the Knicks brought.

For the Knicks, it's another step forward. They're heading to their second straight Eastern Conference Finals, riding a wave of momentum and confidence. For the 76ers? It's a sobering reminder that in the playoffs, talent alone isn't enough—and that even the most passionate fan bases can lose their roar when the team doesn't show up.
