The Knicks have made it to the second round of the NBA playoffs for the third consecutive year, marking their first such achievement since a nine-year streak from 1992 to 2000.
After navigating a grueling six-game first round, they are now facing even tougher challenges ahead. Quite a ride, really.
The Celtics, who recently swept Orlando in five games, have an impressive 33-7 record over their last 40 games. They will kick off the next round on Monday night in Boston.
As the reigning league champions, the Celtics pose a serious threat, especially since the Knicks lost all four regular-season matchups against them.
