Knicks torch 76ers with record-tying effort from 3, set team playoff record with 144 points to complete dominant sweep

Key Points:

• With OG Anunoby sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Miles McBride started for the New York Knicks and led them to a dominant 144-114 Game 4 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, completing a series sweep and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals.
• The Knicks tied multiple NBA playoff records for 3-point shooting, hitting 25 of 44 attempts (56.8%) as a team, including 11 first-quarter threes and 18 in the first half, marking the most points ever scored by the Knicks in a playoff game.
• McBride scored a game-high 25 points with strong shooting efficiency, supported by Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Landry Shamet, all of whom shot over 50% from three-point range; meanwhile, Joel Embiid led the 76ers with 24 points but Philadelphia struggled with just 23% shooting from beyond the arc.
• The Knicks enter the Eastern Conference finals on a seven-game winning streak, averaging a 26.4-point margin of victory, and will face either the Detroit Pistons or Cleveland Cavaliers, with some time to rest and potential for Anunoby to recover before the next series begins.
