VJ Edgecombe and the Philadelphia 76ers discuss being ready to rally from being down 0-3 against the New York Knicks in Round 2.

Facing a 0-3 deficit in a playoff series is the stuff of nightmares for any NBA team, but the Philadelphia 76ers are refusing to blink. When they host the New York Knicks for Game 4 of Round 2 on Sunday afternoon, they'll be staring down a history-making challenge: no team in NBA history has ever rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a series. Yet, the Sixers are leaning into the pressure, not running from it.

After battling back from a 3-1 hole against the Boston Celtics in the first round, this team knows the odds are steeper now. But rookie VJ Edgecombe isn't fazed. "A series is never over until someone wins four games," he said. "We’re gonna continue to go out there and play hard. Clean up the little mistakes that we've made in previous games and just go from there."

The Sixers have built a reputation for resilience all season, sticking together through every obstacle. This moment, however, tests that bond like never before. "We’re present in a moment," Edgecombe added. "We know it's not easy. That's a well-disciplined, well-coached team. So we just got to keep moving forward, keep trying to get better every day."

Dominick Barlow echoed that sentiment, emphasizing unity over panic. "Now this is where you really have to dig deep on your principles and figure out what you're made of," he said. "It's not a time to point fingers or drift apart. This is where we got to bury down and come together as a group."

Game 4 tips off at 3:30 p.m. EDT in Philadelphia. A win would force a Game 5 back at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday evening. For the Sixers, it's not about the odds—it's about taking it one possession at a time. And if their gear is ready for the fight, so are they.
