## Resource

The Philadelphia 76ers are implementing residency-based ticket restrictions to prevent New York Knicks fans from invading their arena. This analysis explores the implications of these restrictions and the tactical matchup between the two Eastern Conference rivals.

## Highlights
- Main idea: The 76ers are using credit card billing addresses to limit ticket sales to the Greater Philadelphia area
- Failure mode: Previous attempts to block traveling Knicks fans have failed to prevent them from taking over the arena
- Practical takeaway: New York's success depends on Jalen Brunson's ability to adapt to defensive pressure and exploit mismatches
- Main idea: Joel Embiid has explicitly pleaded with 76ers fans to hold onto their tickets to maintain home-court advantage
- Practical takeaway: The Knicks' defensive strategy must focus on neutralizing Tyrese Maxey and the 76ers' perimeter threats
