The New York Knicks, fueled by a stunning three-point barrage, powered past the Philadelphia 76ers 144-114 on Sunday and into the NBA Eastern Conference finals.
The Knicks equalled a playoffs record with 11 first-quarter three-pointers and piled up a record-equalling 18 in the first half, setting an early tone on the way to their seventh straight victory of these playoffs.
They finished with a playoff record-equalling 25 treys as they polished off a 4-0 sweep of the 76ers in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semi-finals and reach the conference finals for the second straight year after not going that deep in the playoffs for 24 straight seasons.
