The Philadelphia 76ers are facing a brutal offseason after being swept out of the 2026 NBA Playoffs by their archrivals, the New York Knicks. But the pain didn't end with the final buzzer—Knicks fans turned the Sixers' home court, Xfinity Mobile Arena, into their own personal victory party, despite desperate pleas from Philadelphia players for the home crowd to show up.

Sunday's series-ending 144-114 blowout was a nightmare from start to finish for Philly. The Knicks and their passionate fanbase had already accomplished their mission: dominating their Eastern Conference foes on the biggest stage. But the humiliation didn't stop once the game clock hit zero.

Just ask 6abc reporter Cheyenne Corin, who bravely ventured onto the arena floor after the game to capture reactions from Sixers fans. Instead, she was swarmed by a sea of blue and orange, with Knicks supporters chanting and cheering so loudly that she could barely get a word in. The scene, captured on video, shows a reporter fighting to be heard amid the chaos.

When Corin finally managed to find a few Philadelphia faithful, the emotions ranged from frustration to outright devastation—one fan was even brought to tears. To add salt to the wound, the New York Post reported that Knicks fans were heard chanting "f*ck Embiid" on Corin's Instagram story after the victory.

For those keeping score, this feels like a dose of karmic justice. Just last season, Sixers fans famously crashed a Boston Celtics postgame show after their own first-round upset. Now, the tables have turned in spectacular fashion, and the Knicks faithful made sure everyone watching knew who truly owned the building.
