The Knicks eliminated the Celtics 119-81 in Game 6 on Friday night.
Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks with 21 points and 12 rebounds, Jalen Brunson had 23 points, six assists and six rebounds and Josh Hart recorded a 10-points, 11-assists, 11-rebounds triple-double in a game filled with statistical oddities.
The third-seeded Knicks will play the fourth-seeded Indiana Pacers in the conference finals – the Knicks haven’t been to the NBA Finals since 1999 and the Pacers haven’t been since 2000.
