UNITED STATES – There was a quick turnaround from the series clincher in Round One Saturday night to Game One of the East Semifinals Monday night, that did not go in the favor of VJ Edgecombe and the Philadelphia 76ers.

He scored 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting, 2-of-5 from three, and the New York Knicks dominated the Philadelphia 76ers 137-98 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Philadelphia fell behind early and were outscored by at least eight points in every quarter.

Game Two is set for Wednesday night back in the Garden before the series shifts to Philadelphia for Game Three Friday night.

Minor League Baseball

BJ Murray’s heater continues in Triple-A, and based on everything we’ve seen over the last week or so, Ian Lewis may be trying to join in on that momentum down in Double-A.

Lewis had a monster series for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos against the Biloxi Shuckers in the Southern League.

The Miami Marlins prospect had a four-game hit streak, where he went 5-for-15, which included two home runs, a triple, seven RBI, and five runs scored.

Murray is still keeping pace among the top hitters in the International League for the Iowa Cubs.

His .343 average ranks third in the International League.

Coming off a three-hit game against Louisville in their series finale, he followed with a hit in every game of the four-game stretch against St. Paul.
