If you didn’t know any better, you would have thought 6abc’s Cheyenne Corin was standing on the concourse at Madison Square Garden. 

The reporter with the local ABC affiliate in Philadelphia was swarmed by Knicks fans who had taken over the Xfinity Mobile Arena on Sunday, after the Knicks defeated the Sixers 144-114 in Game 4 to complete the sweep and return to the conference finals for the second consecutive season.

The scene around Corin has now gone viral, as the studio anchor tossed to the reporter in the field, and she was quickly mobbed by cheering Knicks fans.

“Watch me get absolutely TROLLED by Knicks fans in Philly after the Sixers lost,” she wrote, accompanying a video of her news report from the arena that she posted to TikTok.

She also shared a video on Instagram Stories of Knicks fans chanting “f–k Embiid” on the concourse after the Knicks win.

Responding to a post on X by Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy that “Philadelphia has fallen,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, “We still standing strong just how I was in this live shot.”

While Knicks fans were ecstatic over the win on Sunday night, 76ers fans were devastated to see their team swept out of the playoffs with little more than a whimper. 

One fan described the loss as a “Mother’s Day massacre.” 

“Sell the team, fire Nick Nurse, everybody gone, gone gone,” one young fan told the Philadelphia news station. “Let Kyle Lowry coach.”

One fan was even moved to tears as she cried over the loss and hoped that Joel Embiid would remain in the City of Brotherly Love.

“I love the whole team. They did amazing, but it’s just heartbreaking, it really is,” she said.

The Knicks now will wait to find out their next opponent, with the Cavaliers and Pistons still in the middle of their best-of-seven series.
