NEW YORK — The Knicks enter the Eastern Conference Finals determined to prevent the kinds of late-game slips that cost them against the Indiana Pacers earlier in the postseason.
Coaches and players have repeatedly referenced those collapses while readying for the best-of-seven series, saying the setbacks serve as a constant reminder of the focus required to establish momentum in Game 1.
This appearance marks New York’s return to the conference finals and gives the club an immediate chance to set the tone as it pursues its first NBA Finals berth in years. Specific game dates and times will be confirmed once league scheduling is finalized.
