GISTers, tag who you're watching the conference finals with. 👇 🏀
•
The New York Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics 119–81 in Game 6, eliminating the defending champions and advancing to their first conference finals appearance in 25 years.
•
Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby each scored 23 points, while Mikal Bridges added 22 and Karl-Anthony Towns chipped in 21 for the Knicks, whose 38-point margin of victory marked their largest ever in a postseason game. 👏
•
Jaylen Brown scored 20 points for the Celtics, but despite the team's effort, they were unable to match the Knicks' offense — largely due to the absence of leading scorer Jayson Tatum, who is out with a ruptured Achilles tendon sustained in Game 4. 😬
•
The Knicks hadn’t won a playoff series on their home floor since the 1999 East finals. So the celebrating started late in the one-sided first half and fans carried it out deep into the night taking tothe streets to celebrate. 🔥
•
On the way to their postgame press conference, Knicks' Josh Hart showed Mikal Bridges a video of a fan climbing a light pole outside the arena. "I’m new here, but just know how much New York loves their sports, especially the Knicks," Bridges said. “So, excited to be a part of it. They enjoy it for us right now, but obviously we've got way more to go.” 🙌
•
The Knicks will face Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers in the Conference Finals, with the series tipping off on May 21 at 8:00 p.m. ET. 📺
•
GISTers, will the Kicks take down the Pacers? 👀 #thgist
