The New York Knicks reached the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years on Friday night, strolling to a 119-81 victory over reigning champions the Boston Celtics in Game 6.
With the franchise's first trip to the conference finals in 25 years on the line, the New York Knicks left no doubt, sending the Boston Celtics home with a 119-81 rout. This will be the seventh straight season without a repeat NBA champion.
The Boston Celtics should have a busy offseason ahead of them, especially with the latest updates on injuries to star players Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. It is uncertain how competitive the team will be next season,
Even before Tatum went down with a torn Achilles (and the long rehab that implies), the Celtics were likely making significant changes to the team.
Only 13 teams have overcome a 3-1 deficit to win a series. The Celtics are trying to do it without their leading scorer.
