"On Friday night in New York City, more than 19,000 Knicks fans poured out of Madison Square Garden and onto Seventh Avenue, celebrating their team's improbable 4-2 series victory over the Boston Celtics."
"New York had beaten their rivals by a franchise playoff-record margin of 38 points, ending Boston's reign as NBA champs."
"Up until the clock struck zero in Game 6, accurate adjectives to describe New York's on-court personality were quite limited, but resilient and inconsistent probably summed them up best."
"Injuries, trades and roster turnover meant that the lunch-pail defense-first teams that had marked the Tom Thibodeau-coached Knicks prior to this season were no more."
The Knicks celebrated a significant milestone by defeating the Boston Celtics 4-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, marking their first appearance in the finals in 25 years. The victory was highlighted by a franchise playoff-record 38-point margin. The series saw dramatic comebacks and injuries affecting both teams, notably with Boston's Jayson Tatum sidelined in critical situations. Following a season marked by inconsistent performance and identity struggles, the Knicks have finally established themselves as a formidable contender in the Eastern Conference, generating excitement among fans and hope for future success.
