The video captured wild celebrations at Madison Sq. Backyard, together with scenes from the Knicks knocking off the Pistons and Celtics en path to their first convention finals look since 2000.
The Knicks opened the collection in opposition to the Pacers at residence by choking away a Recreation 1 lead inside the closing moments of regulation, paving the way in which for Indiana’s 138-135 extra time win at MSG in Might.

Though it’s going to take a beat to digest the loss, Knicks captain Jalen Brunson is “overconfident” the crew — which added Karl-Anthony Cities and Mikal Bridges this season — can take the following step.
“There’s not an ounce of any type of doubt that I’m not confident with this group,” Brunson stated.
“… We have a lot of guys that just genuinely want to work hard to be better, and I like that, and I appreciate my teammates and everything they do and everything they believe in.”
Cities, who drew the ire of native sports activities personalities within the wake of Saturday’s season-ending loss, arrived in New York in October following a blockbuster commerce with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
