Sixers vs. Knicks: Former Warriors Kelly Oubre Jr. scores 14 points in Game 5

The former Warrior wing notched 14 points in the Sixers’ thrilling win over the Knicks in Game 5 of their first round playoff series.

While Kevin Durant’s season came to an end after the Phoenix Suns were swept in the first round of the playoffs against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, another former member of the Golden State Warriors is still alive in a thrilling first-round series in the postseason.

Despite the New York Knicks holding a 3-1 lead the Philadelphia 76ers in front of a fiery crowd at Madison Square Garden, a heroic effort from Tyrese Maxey helped the Sixers extend the series.

The former Kentucky guard drilled a ridiculous 3-pointer at the end of regulation to force overtime against the Knicks. In overtime, the Sixers pulled away to secure a much-needed 112-106 win to put the series at 3-2.

Jalen Brunson continued his impressive postseason with 40 points on 15-of-32 shooting from the field with six assists and three boards in 51 minutes. Maxey countered with 46 points on 17-of-30 shooting from the field with nine assists and five rebounds in 52 minutes.

Former Warrior Kelly Oubre Jr. tacked on 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting from the field with four rebounds in 39 minutes during the Sixers win on Tuesday evening in New York City.

The series will now shift back to Philadelphia for Game 5 on Thursday at 6 p.m. PT.

Watch: Former Warrior Donte DiVincenzo hits Knicks’ game-winning 3-pointer vs. Sixers

The former Warrior hit a game-winning 3-pointer to give the Knicks a 2-0 lead over the Sixers in the first round of the playoffs.

While the Golden State Warriors season is over, the first round of the NBA postseason is in full swing. During the 2024 edition of the playoffs, 11 former members of the Warriors are on the floor around the league.

On Monday night, an ex-Warrior took over playoff headlines with a game-winning shot at Madison Square Garden. In Game 2 of the New York Knicks’ first-round battle against the Philadelphia 76ers, Donte DiVincenzo drilled a 3-pointer in the final seconds to deliver the Knicks a 104-101 lead over the Sixers.

Seconds before his game-winner, DiVincenzo missed an open look from beyond the arc. However, a heroic rebound from Isaiah Hartenstein gave the former Warrior turned Knick another chance. DiVincenzo hit his go-ahead triple with 13 seconds on the clock that set the New York crowd into a frenzy.

DiVincenzo’s 3-pointer earned a rare “double-bang” call from legendary broadcaster Mike Breen.

Via @KnicksMSGN on Twitter:

DiVincenzo finished with 19 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the field with four made 3-pointers to go along with four rebounds and three assists as the Knicks went on to take a two-game lead over the Sixers.
