ESPN;
Karl Anthony-Towns had 19 points and 14 rebounds, OG Anunoby scored 17 and the New York Knicks routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-93 Monday night to complete a four-game sweep of the Eastern Conference finals and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.
Landry Shamet scored 16 off the bench while Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson had 15 apiece for the Knicks, who became the fourth team to have an 11-game winning streak during their postseason run. The last to do it was Golden State, which had a 15-game run en route to its second title in three seasons in 2017.
The Knicks took the wind out of the Cavs’ sails with that Game 1 comeback and completely demoralized them for the rest of the series!
NY Knicks will take on the winner of Thunder/Spurs.
Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals tips off Wednesday, June 3rd.
