  • With OG Anunoby sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Miles McBride started again for the Knicks and led a record-tying 3-point shooting performance in a dominant 144-114 Game 4 win over the 76ers, completing a sweep to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
  • The Knicks tied multiple NBA playoff records by hitting 25 three-pointers on 56.8% shooting, including 11 in the first quarter and 18 by halftime, showcasing an overwhelming offensive display.
