The New York Knicks are now one win away from the NBA Finals after beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 121-108 on Saturday night.
Holding a commanding 3-0 series lead, the Knicks further enhanced their historic postseason run with their 10th win in a row.
New York’s 10-game win streak, which started with Game 3 of the first round series on April 25, makes the Knicks the 10th team to win 10 or more games in a row in a single postseason.
Most of the other teams with a 10-game win streak won the NBA title
The 2024 Boston Celtics were the last team to accomplish a 10-game win streak, doing so en route to winning the championship. And the 2017 Golden State Warriors hold the record for the most consecutive wins in the playoffs with 15, a figure the Knicks would match by finishing off the Cavaliers on Monday night and then sweeping the Western Conference champion in the NBA Finals.
But going above and beyond just winning, nine of New York’s consecutive wins have come by double digits. The Knicks’ only two losses during this postseason, coming within their first three games of the playoffs, were both by one point each.
