The Philadelphia 76ers first-round matchup with the New York Knicks has been physical, heated and full of drama after just three games, culminating in Joel Embiid's flagrant 1 foul against Mitchell Robinson on Thursday and an ensuing dust-up.

But Kelly Oubre Jr. is ready to get back to basketball.

"I'm not gonna comment on what they're commenting on," he told reporters Saturday. "They're gonna hit, then we hit back, then they cry. ... Let's just hoop, just go out there and play hard. Nobody's gonna fight, this ain't the WWE."

The Knicks felt a little bit differently about the situation.

"It was dirty," DiVincenzo told reporters regarding the situation between Embiid and Robinson. "It was dirty."

It's all setting the stage for a contentious, and crucial, Game 4 on Sunday. The Knicks currently lead the series, 2-1.
