The New York Knicks return to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 after sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals. In Game 4 on Monday night, New York wins 130-93, completing a four-game series sweep and advancing to the Finals. Karl-Anthony Towns leads the Knicks with 19 points and 14 rebounds, while OG Anunoby scores 17. Landry Shamet adds 16 points off the bench, and Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson each finish with 15 as New York dominates the game in a lopsided final score. The sweep also caps an extended run of success during the postseason: the Knicks register an 11-game winning streak, described by one source as the fourth time a team reaches an 11-game streak in its postseason run. The most recent previous example cited is Golden State’s 15-game winning run en route to its second title. After this result, New York is set to compete in the NBA Finals following its series-clinching win over Cleveland.
