When you're down 0-2 in a playoff series, most teams would start feeling the pressure. But the Philadelphia 76ers aren't most teams—and they're certainly not lacking in confidence.

After a hard-fought 108-102 loss to the New York Knicks in Game 2 on Wednesday night, the Sixers find themselves in a familiar but uncomfortable position. Historically, Philadelphia has never won a series after falling into an 0-2 hole—they're 0-15 in those situations. But here's the thing: this is the same team that just made history by rallying from a 3-1 deficit against the heavily favored Boston Celtics in the first round, snapping an 0-18 franchise record in those scenarios.

"We definitely feel like we can pull ourselves out of this one," said Tyrese Maxey after the loss. "Gotta go home and get two."

The fourth quarter was the difference-maker, and not in a good way for the Sixers. Philadelphia shot just 4-for-19 in the final frame, watching a one-point lead slip away as shots simply wouldn't fall. Meanwhile, Knicks guard Jalen Brunson caught fire, knocking down tough shot after tough shot down the stretch.

"We felt like we should have won it," added VJ Edgecombe. "I say it came down to the shot making at the end of the game. They were making shots. We wasn't. Even in the timeouts, we were confident the whole time."

Credit where it's due—the Sixers showed serious fight in Game 2, especially without Joel Embiid to lean on. They had their chances, and if a few more shots had dropped, the story might be different. Now, with the series shifting to Xfinity Mobile Arena, Philadelphia has a chance to reset on home court.

"It's gonna be a dog fight," Edgecombe said. "It's gonna be a real dog fight. They're a really good team, and it's gonna come down to the wire almost every game."

For Sixers fans, the message is clear: the confidence hasn't wavered, and this team has already proven they can overcome long odds. Now it's time to defend home court and prove history doesn't have to repeat itself.
