New York trailed by six points with under 10 minutes left to go in the fourth quarter when Cam Payne fired off one of the worst three-point attempts you'll ever see at the professional level. The shot clock was about to expire so he had to fire it off but still, the ball sailed over the top of the backboard and bounced off the shot clock.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced that for the duration of the team’s playoff run, streets across Manhattan would be co-named for current players. That included a sign outside Madison Square Garden before Game 1 against the Pacers at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 32nd Street.

The New York Knicks blew a 17-point lead and lost to the Indiana Pacers in overtime in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, 138-135, on May 21. Haliburton, who finished with a team-high 31 points, sent the game into overtime with a buzzer-beater to end the fourth quarter.

As the lead kept expanding, all the way up to 41 points, Knicks fans got louder. It was earsplitting when Jaylen Brown fouled out with 2:50 remaining in the third quarter. Somehow the roar became even more thunderous when Josh Hart beat multiple Celtics to an offensive rebound near the 3-point line and found OG Anunoby for a 3-pointer.

The New York Knicks are four wins away from doing something they haven't done since 1999: make it to the NBA Finals! It happened so long ago, Bill Clinton was president. So, it's no overstatement that fans and New Yorkers are uber excited about this Knickerbockers squad.
