It took the New York Knicks four more quarters than we’d have liked, but the men playing on the road on Wednesday earned a solid 106-95 win over the fourth-best team in the East to clinch a place in the conference semifinals for the first time in 10 years.
Now, the Knickerbockers have to move on and be the ones bringing the Heat starting next Sunday at MSG.
It’s hard to envision something like this no-contest first-round series repeating itself in the ECSF against Miami and Heat Honcho Jimmy Buckets.
