New York Knicks, NBA finalists for the first time in the 21st century!

The New York Knicks are already in the NBA Finals. The New York franchise crushed the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-93 in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference Finals to close the series with a resounding 4-0 and return to fight for the championship for the first time since 1999.

The team led by Mike Brown once again displayed a dominant level from start to finish. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 19 points and 14 rebounds, while OG Anunoby contributed 17 points. From the bench, Landry Shamet appeared with 16 points, while Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson each added 15.

New York thus linked its eleventh consecutive victory in these playoffs, becoming only the fourth team to achieve such a streak during the same postseason. In addition, almost all their wins have come by double digits with an average margin of 23.7 points.

The game changed definitively after a 20-0 run by the Knicks in the first quarter. Cleveland went over five minutes without scoring, and the New York team took advantage to break the game before halftime, leading 68-49.

Cavaliers' Embarrassment

In the second half, there was no reaction from the Cavaliers. The Knicks reached a maximum lead of 45 points, and Brown was able to rest his starters with 7:47 left amidst chants of "Knicks in four" from the fans who traveled to Cleveland.

It will be the Knicks' third appearance in the Finals since their last title in 1973. In 1994, they fell to the Houston Rockets, and in 1999, they lost to the San Antonio Spurs.

Now they await the opponent between the defending champions, Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Spurs, with the Finals set to begin on June 3rd.
