The New York Knicks defeated the Boston Celtics on Friday night to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. With the win, they set a unique record.
The Knicks dominated the Celtics 119-81 in a Game 6 that was never close. Boston extended the series with a blowout win in Game 5, but the Knicks avoided a potential disaster by getting the job done in front of their home crowd at Madison Square Garden on Friday.
The 38-point margin of victory was also the largest in NBA history in a clinching game against a defending NBA champion.
