BASK:Knicks romp into NBA finals to end 27-year wait

The New York Knicks are back in the NBA Finals, ending a 27-year wait.

Karl Anthony-Towns had 19 points and 14 rebounds while OG Anunoby scored 17 as the Knicks routed the Cleveland Cavaliers 130-93 on Monday night.

The win completed a four-game sweep of the Eastern Conference finals with New York advancing to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.

Landry Shamet scored 16 off the bench while Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson - named Eastern Conference MVP - had 15 apiece for the Knicks, who became the fourth team to have an 11-game winning streak during their post-season run. The last to do it was Golden State, who had a 15-game run en route to their second title in three seasons in 2017.
