It’s over.
The New York Knicks got to extend the season for a few days—a few weeks, even—longer than most people expected but they ultimately surrendered.
Miami defeated New York 96-92 in Game 6 and closed the Eastern Conference semifinals matchup with a 4-2 win over the Knicks sending the latter home with their tail between the legs.
It would have been the first time since 2000 for the Knicks reaching the ECF had they come back from a 3-1 deficit they put themselves into earlier this week, but the odds were ominous and the ending was hardly a surprising one.
