Once upon a time, the Knicks trailed in a series this postseason. That was after Game 3 of New York’s first-round series against the Hawks where Atlanta took a 2–1 lead when CJ McCollum played spoiler to a late comeback from the Knicks.
At that point, it looked like the Knicks may become victim to a trendy upset pick as they ran into a Hawks team who turned it on and became one of the NBA’s best teams after the All-Star break. Anyone who had that thought now feels silly as the Knicks have now won 10 straight playoff games and are just one win away from the franchise’s first trip to the NBA Finals since 1999.
