The New York Knicks are out for domination. For the second year in a row, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals.
They proved that the Larry O’Brien trophy is merely the reward but the goal was to overpower their opponents. It showed in their 144-114 demolition of the Philadelphia 76ers which led to an insane 4-0 sweep. They even notched a historic net rating feat.
Game 4 between the Knicks and 76ers was over during the middle of the first quarter. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns saw their squad take over with a massive 19-point lead before the second quarter started. For most teams, it would all be a matter of closing out but the Knicks are different. They continued to steamroll Joel Embiid and Co.
By the end of their 144-114 domination, the Knicks secured a 20.3 net rating in the NBA Playoffs. This is the best net rating by a team in a single postseason run. They are also the sole owners of the record.
