NBA Finals: Knicks Aim for Stronger Start Against Spurs in Crucial Game 4

New York Knicks produced one of the most dominant performances in NBA playoff history, crushing the Atlanta Hawks 140-89 to seal a 4-2 first-round series win and advance to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

The 51-point margin marked the biggest playoff win in franchise history, while their 83-36 halftime lead set a new NBA postseason record.

OG Anunoby starred with 29 points, including 26 in the first half, while Karl-Anthony Towns registered a triple-double. The Knicks overturned a 2-1 series deficit to progress and will now face either the Boston Celtics or Philadelphia 76ers, whose series is tied 3-3 heading into a decisive Game 7.
