Overview
- - New York capped the series with a 144-114 road win in Philadelphia on Sunday, finishing a 4-0 sweep in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
- - The Knicks tied NBA playoff records with 25 made three-pointers in the game and 18 in the first half, after a record 11 threes in the opening quarter.
- - Starting for injured OG Anunoby, Miles McBride led New York with 25 points and seven threes as Jalen Brunson added steady playmaking and scoring support.
- - The Knicks have won seven straight postseason games and carry a 19.4-point average margin through two rounds, the largest at this stage since the 16-team format began in 1984.
- - New York awaits Detroit or Cleveland in the conference finals with at least a week to rest, which could aid Anunoby’s day-to-day hamstring recovery and allow extra scouting time.
