Philadelphia have joined Milwaukee in being eliminated in the first round of basketball's NBA playoffs

The 76ers hosted the New York Knicks in Game Six, trailing 3-2 in the best-of-seven series... and were knocked out 118 to 115.

It looked dire early on for the hosts, down by 14 after the first quarter - before a big second had the desperate 76ers in front 54-51 at halftime.

But the Knicks tied it back up in the third quarter - then came home to win it by just three points.

They go on to face the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, who earlier won a playoff series for the first time in a decade... beating the visiting Milwaukee Bucks 120 to 98 in Game 6, to also triumph 4-2.
