The Philadelphia 76ers surprised hundreds of teachers and healthcare workers with free playoff tickets for Game 3 of the playoff match between the 76ers and the New York Knicks. The Sixers gave 250 tickets to teachers across Philadelphia and Camden, New Jersey, and 250 to health care workers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Penn Medicine. Among those receiving tickets was fourth-grade teacher Erin Rambo from Camden's Pride Charter School, who held a Sixers-themed trivia contest to determine who would attend. The team's vice president, Mike Goings, said the goal was to recognize workers in the community and energize the home crowd. Despite the team entering the game down 0-2 in the series, many fans remained optimistic.
