NBA playoffs: Sixers ownership teams up with Fanatics to buy 2,000 tickets to keep Knicks fans out of Game 6

How do you try to keep New York Knicks fans out of your building with your season on the line? You purchase the tickets and distribute them yourself to ensure they fall into the hands of Philadelphia 76ers fans.

That's what Sixers ownership did on Wednesday, according to Crossing Broad. Majority owners Josh Harris, David Blitzer and David Adelman teamed up with former minority owner Michael Rubin, head of Fanatics, to buy 2,000 tickets for Thursday's Game 6. The seats will be given to first responders, healthcare professionals, community groups and other local organizations.
