Knicks enter the Eastern Conference Final for the first time in 25 years, with a home victory over defending champion Celtics

May 17 - The New York Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals again after 25 years, and ended the Boston Celtics' defense of the title with a devastating momentum. In Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semi-finals on Saturday morning, the Knicks beat their opponents 119-81 at home, advancing 4-2.

Jaylen Brunson and OG Anunobi each scored 23 points to lead the team to easily advance. The Knicks will face the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals, which coincidentally was their last match in the Eastern Conference Finals in 2000. The first game of the series will start in New York next Thursday.

This is the first time the Knicks have won a series at home since the 1999 Eastern Conference Finals, so when the game lost its suspense early in the first half, the whole game began to celebrate, and the atmosphere of joy is destined to last throughout the night.

Micar Bridges contributed 22 points to the Knicks, and Carl Anthony Towns also scored 21 points. The huge 38-point gap not only makes the game unsurprising, but also breaks the Knicks' record for the largest single-game winning score in the playoffs in history.
