The Knicks got the 109-93 home win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals and need two more to make it to the Finals.
Josh Hart scored a playoff career-high 26 points, Jalen Brunson had 19 points and 14 assists, while Mikal Bridges also scored 19 points and Karl-Anthony Towns had 18 points and 13 rebounds.
British forward OG Anunobi added 14 points, four rebounds and three assists to help the Knicks win their ninth straight game.
It’s the NBA’s longest postseason winning streak since the Boston Celtics won 10 straight on their way to the 2024 championship.
This time no miracle comeback was needed for the Kncisk who dominated the third quarter with an 18-0 run to get a solid 71-53 lead.
Donovan Mitchell scored 26 points and James Harden had 18 for the Cavaliers, who now have their backs against the wall.
