Knicks' Dominance: Record Playoff Blowouts

The New York Knicks have demonstrated historic dominance in their recent playoff games. Following a record-setting 51-point victory over Atlanta, they delivered another resounding 39-point win against Philadelphia. These two performances resulted in a combined 90-point margin of victory, the second-largest in league playoff history across consecutive games.

Over their last three playoff contests, the Knicks have secured wins by margins of 29, 51, and 39 points, averaging an astonishing 39.7 points. This remarkable three-game stretch marks the largest average margin of victory ever recorded.

This impressive streak of performance has seen the Knicks become the first team since 1997 to establish a lead of at least 30 points in three consecutive playoff games. Their offensive firepower, particularly from Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby, has been instrumental in this success.

Jalen Brunson has been a consistent scoring threat, extending his streak of scoring at least 15 points in playoff games to 49. KAT has also found a new role as a facilitator, contributing significantly to the offense. OG Anunoby's efficiency from beyond the arc and Mikal Bridges' all-around play have further elevated the team's performance.

While the Knicks' shooting percentages have been exceptionally high, questions remain about Philadelphia's fatigue after a Game 7. However, the Knicks appear to be peaking at the opportune moment, showcasing a level of play that suggests they are a formidable force in the postseason.
