Streaking Knicks Focused on Game 4 and Not Being on Verge of Reaching the NBA Finals
New York has outscored opponents by 225 points in 10 straight playoff wins and is one victory from its first Finals trip since 1999.
- The New York Knicks have won 10 consecutive playoff games by a combined 225 points, the most one-sided stretch in NBA history, with one victory separating them from the NBA Finals.
- This streak began after the Knicks trailed Atlanta 2-1 in Round 1; they won the final three games against the Hawks, swept Philadelphia, and now hold a 3-0 lead over Cleveland in the Eastern Conference finals.
- Shooting 53.8% during this stretch, the Knicks lead the NBA in efficiency. Coach Mike Brown noted, "There's nothing easy about this," while crediting players for "believing in the process" and maintaining competitive spirit.
- New York is 5-0 in its last five playoff road games, tying the longest team streak in history, with all five wins coming by double figures—matching records set by Miami in 2013 and Golden State in 2017.
- The Knicks' +225 point differential surpasses the 214-point margin set by the Milwaukee Bucks in 1973-74 and exceeds the 171-point mark from the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors' playoff run.
