The New York Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight season after a dominant 144-114 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday (Philippine time), completing a 4-0 series sweep.

Miles McBride delivered a playoff career-high 25 points, including seven 3-pointers, to lead a balanced New York attack that overwhelmed Philadelphia from the opening quarter.

The Knicks set the tone early, erupting for 43 points in the first quarter to build a commanding lead. They extended the advantage to 81-57 at halftime and never looked back, leading by as many as 39 points en route to the lopsided win.

Jalen Brunson added 22 points, six assists, and six 3-pointers, while Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 17 points and 10 assists to anchor the offense.

New York’s high-powered scoring continued through three quarters, stretching the margin to 122-83 entering the fourth before closing out the series in emphatic fashion.

The Knicks’ sweep marks their second consecutive trip to the Eastern Conference Finals, underscoring their growing presence among the NBA’s elite playoff contenders.

Philadelphia, unable to recover from New York’s early surge, exits the postseason after being outmatched on both ends throughout the series-clinching game.
