McBride's Game-by-Game Numbers From Round 1 of NBA Playoffs
Deuce had a strong showing off the bench in the New York Knicks' series win over Philadelphia.
Just one day after former WVU guard Joe Mazzulla advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with the Boston Celtics with a series win over the Miami Heat, fellow Mountaineer basketball alum Miles “Deuce” McBride and the New York Knicks accomplished the same feat.
The Knicks took down the Philadelphia 76ers 118-115 to advance, winning the series 4-2.
McBride had a rather quiet outing, scoring just three points on 1/4 shooting, all of which came from beyond the three-point line. He played just nine minutes which is by far the least he’s played in this year’s playoffs.
McBride will now take on the Indiana Pacers with Game 1 of the series tipping off on Monday night at 7:30 p.m. EST on TNT
