As the Knicks Defeat the Sixers 104–101, Magic Johnson Selects the Game’s “Hero of the Game” in Game 2

The New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers at home for the second straight game, moving them one step closer to the semifinals. Magic Johnson was overcome with emotion after their 104-101 triumph, and it appears that the Lakers icon is enjoying the postseason. Magic used Twitter to share his thoughts and select his “Hero of the Game” after the game.

The five-time winner identified Isaiah Hartenstein as the main force behind the Knicks’ victories. According to Magic Johnson, the hosts were able to stay in the game thanks to the 25-year-old’s defensive skills, which set up an exciting conclusion. The Buck posted the following on X (previously Twitter), emphasizing his authority.

“Isaiah Hartenstein is the hero of the Knicks with his 14 point, 8 rebound performance! He had both the game-winning offensive rebound that led to DiVincenzo’s game-winning 3 AND the block on Tyrese Maxey that secured the victory! What a wild, fun, and exciting playoff game!!”

His words gave Hartenstein’s efforts more volume by providing a detailed summary of the conflict. According to ESPN, the Oregonian grabbed eight rebounds, four of which were on the offensive end, and one of those helped Donte DiVincenzo make the game-winning 3-pointer. Furthermore, he sealed the Knicks’ destiny with his third block of the game on Tyrese Maxey’s game-changing jumper attempt. Throughout the game, the 2017 pick was likewise incredibly effective, scoring 14 points on 7/8 shooting from the field.

With the Knicks up 2-0 in the series, this stat line validates Magic Johnson’s hype. But amid the ensuing conflicts, the organization still has a long way to go.
