The New York team made it to the playoffs as third in the Eastern Conference and has been on a roll ever since. A 130-93 win over Cleveland in the fourth semifinal game of the night was the team's eleventh straight playoff win - a new club record.

The last time New York played in the final was 27 years ago, and the club's only titles came in 1970 and 1973.

The final series starts on June 4th, and if the stars align, it will be a repeat of the last time the club played in the final. For that to happen, San Antonio must defeat Oklahoma City in the second semifinal series (2-2).
