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 courtside before Game 4 of the first-round series between the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers tipped off.

The 76ers welcomed Staley, who used to coach local Temple University's women's basketball team, to lead to bell-ringing ceremony before sitting courtside through the action.

Staley embraced Iverson before they posed for a picture as she held up a towel reading: 'For the love of Philly.'

Later in the game, Staley joined the Philadelphia crowd in waiving off Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein after getting his fifth personal foul in the third quarter of the contest.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks to victory with 47 points as they take a commanding 3-1 lead 

Despite losing their primary big man, New York still secured the narrow 97-92 win on the road.

The Blue and Orange rallied behind Jalen Brunson's 47-point performance. The MVP candidate also tallied ten assists and four rebounds to help his team get a 3-1 series lead.

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

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

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