South Carolina’s March Madness-winning coach Dawn Staley attends Sixers-Knicks playoff game as the Philly native embraces team legend Allen Iverson at courtside… before taunting New York star Isaiah Hartenstein in 97-92 loss for hosts

South Carolina head coach and NCAA championship-winning head coach Dawn Staley enjoyed a moment with 76ers legend Allen Iverson at Wells Fargo Center.

On Sunday, the two Philadelphia legends were seen on the court before Game 4 of the first round between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers tipped off.

The 76ers welcomed Staley, who coached the local Temple University women’s basketball team, to officiate the bell ceremony before sitting courtside for the action.

Staley hugged Iverson before they posed for a photo as she held up a towel that read, “For the love of Philly.”

Later in the game, Staley joined the Philadelphia crowd in waived Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein after picking up his fifth personal foul in the third quarter of the game.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks to victory with 47 points, taking a commanding 3-1 lead

Despite losing their main big man, New York still earned the narrow 97-92 victory on the road.

The Blue and Orange supported Jalen Brunson’s performance with 47 points. The MVP candidate also scored 10 assists and four rebounds to help his team take a 3-1 lead in the series.

On the other hand, Joel Embiid’s 27-point, 10-rebound double-double and Tyrese Maxey’s 23-point game led Philadelphia in their losing effort.

The teams meet for Game 5 on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks can close out the series in front of a home crowd.

Should the 76ers force a Game 6, the series returns to the City of Brotherly Love on Thursday.
