The New York Knicks moved within one win of their first NBA Finals since 1999 after they swept aside the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Their 121-108 victory at Rocket Arena gives them a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals. They can wrap up the series at the same venue on Monday (01:00 BST, Tuesday).
No NBA team has overcome a 3-0 deficit in a play-off series in NBA history.
Knicks Extend Play-off Winning Streak
The Knicks are on a franchise-record run of 10 straight play-off victories. They are winning by an average margin of 22.5 points.
Brunson Leads the Way for New York
Jalen Brunson scored 30 points in the game. Mikal Bridges added 22 for the third seeds.
The Knicks never trailed against the Cavaliers.
“We feel – and we always have felt – the sky is the limit with this team,” said Karl-Anthony Towns, who finished with 13 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.
Cavaliers’ Top Scorers
Evan Mobley scored 24 points for the Cavaliers. Donovan Mitchell scored 23, and James Harden had 19.
The winners will meet the San Antonio Spurs or the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals, starting on 4 June.
The Thunder lead 2-1 in the Western Conference finals before game four in San Antonio on Sunday (01:00 BST, Monday).
