The Knicks demolished the 76ers 137-98 in their Eastern Conference semifinals opener on Monday, with Jalen Brunson dropping 35 points for New York’s largest-ever home playoff win margin. Postgame, former Knicks guard J.R. Smith joined the ecstatic fans near Penn Station but fell amid the chaos, quickly recovering while yelling ‘Relax man, relax.’ Videos of the two-time champion’s grip on his smoke drew laughs and roasts online, capturing the intense energy of Knicks supporters after years without deep playoff runs. Game 2 follows Wednesday at MSG.
