For the first time since 1999, the New York Knicks basketball players qualified for the grand finals of the NBA playoffs.
In the fourth meeting of the East final New York Knicks won in Cleveland Cavaliers with 130:93 and ended the final series of the East with a “broom”, clean 4:0 in victories.
The Knicks have outscored their opponents by total 262 baskets during its winning streak, the most dominant stretch in league history, playoff or regular season.
It was also Knicks’ 11th straight win this season in the playoffs, which is the third-longest playoff streak in league history.
Growing up in the New York area, I feel that the word hope has been missing for a long time, so it’s special to bring it backhe said Karl-Anthony Townswith 19 points and 14 rebounds, the most effective player in the winning ranks.
This is something surrealhe added Josh Hart.
The Knicks quickly took control
The Cavs opened the match better, they led 5:0, then 8:2, but New York quickly made up for the deficit and by the end of the first quarter created an advantage of 12 points. 38:26.
At the opening of the second part it was +24, a little later the difference was 29, and at halftime we went with 68:49 for guests.
When the Knicks took a huge +30 lead in the third quarter, 89:59it was clear how this story ended. In the last section, they had an incredible 45 points difference, 123:78and finally it ended 130:93.
The boys played great. You are in the finals of the conference and you score 65 points from offensive rebounds and quick counterattacks. I don’t know if I’ve seen that this time of year. We wanted to pick up the pacethe coach said Mike Brown.
Brown to the finals in the first season
Mike Brown thus reached the finals in his first year with a team. The Knicks hired Brown after parting ways with Tom Thibodeauafter reaching the Eastern Conference finals last year but losing in six games to Indiana.
It will be Brown’s second final as a coach after losing with Cleveland to San Antonio in 2007.
As many as 13 Knicks players registered among the scorers, and the only one remained at “zero”. Mohamed Diawara. They were the most effective with Towns OG Anunoby with 16 points and seven rebounds, Landry Shamet at 16, and Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges with 15 baskets each.
Brunson East Finals MVP
Brunson went to the MVP award for the most valuable player of the Eastern Conference.
It really means a lot to me, but I wouldn’t be here without my teammatessaid Brunson, who was just two years old when the Knicks last played in the grand finals, when his father played for the club.
On the opposite side, he was the most effective Donovan Mitchell with 31 baskets, Evan Mobey added 15, a James Harden 12 points on 0-6 three-point shooting.
For New York it will be ninth finalthe first in 27 years and a loss to San Antonio. The Knicks have won twice so far, they have titles from 1970 and 1973.
In the final, they will either play against the defending champions Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spursand the current score is 2:2, reports Hina.
