I thought it was New York through Patsy Parisi

Pretty much. In an earlier episode, Tony or somebody said New York outnumbered New Jersey by something like 6 to 1 so no way they just simply roll over after Phil gets killed, especially since Jersey's leadership is mostly gone. They just strung Tony along while they co-opted Patsy and probably Paulie.

Plus, they killed Phil in a pretty gruesome way in front of his family so the final scene would be complete payback.
