The New York Knicks struggled with foul trouble in Game 1 of a second-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers, with Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson being called for fouls so often that head coach Mike Brown had to use Ariel Hukporti as a substitute during the first half due to the issue. Despite this, the Knicks managed to secure a 137-98 victory over the 76ers to take a 1-0 series lead. The issue remains a concern as the 76er is looking to overthrow the No. 2 seeded-Knicks.
