Upset's feast! New York is also in the final. Final showdown with the main character of the eastern PO.



The New York Knicks have advanced to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 25 years.

New York defeated the Boston Celtics 119-81 in Game 6 of the second round (four wins out of seven) of the 2024-2025 NBA Playoff (PO) at Madison Square Garden in New York on the 17th (Korea time).

New York, which recorded 4 wins and 2 losses in the series, reached the East finals for the first time in 25 years since the 1999-2000 season. The final partner is the Indiana Pacers.




Both teams had strong upsets in the semifinals.

New York defeated defending champion Boston, and Indiana defeated the Eastern No. 1 Cleveland Cavaliers to reach the final.

The New York and Boston series was a series of variables. New York gained momentum by winning a huge upset against Boston, and Boston's absolute ace Jason Tatum injured his Achilles tendon and was out for the season in Game 4 of the series.




In Game 5, New York was completely defeated by Boston, but Boston, without Tatum, saw its objective power itself drop significantly.
