Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- The New York Knicks have won 10 straight playoff games, a streak that puts them one win away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999.
- The Knicks overcame a 2–1 series deficit against the Hawks, swept the 76ers, and currently lead the Cavaliers 3–0 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
- Only nine teams in NBA history have won 10 or more consecutive playoff games, and all but one advanced to the NBA Finals; the Knicks are poised to join this elite group.
- If the Knicks win Game 4 against the Cavaliers, they will tie for the fourth longest playoff win streak in NBA history and face a tough Western Conference opponent next.
- This postseason run has established the Knicks as the Eastern Conference's best team, and their continued success will depend on key players like Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
