Knicks Tie Playoff Record With 25 Threes in 144-114 Rout to Sweep 76ers, Reach Second Straight East Final

On May 10, 2026, the New York Knicks routed the Philadelphia 76ers 144-114 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, completing a 4-0 sweep and advancing to the conference finals for the second straight season. Miles McBride, starting in place of the injured OG Anunoby, hit seven 3-pointers and scored a team-high 25 points. Jalen Brunson added 22 points and six assists, while Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns each scored 17.

New York made 11 3-pointers and scored 43 points in the first quarter, tying the playoff record for threes in a quarter, and finished with 25 made 3s to tie the NBA postseason record for a game, leading by 24 at halftime. Joel Embiid scored 24 points and Tyrese Maxey 17 for Philadelphia, which has not advanced past the second round in 25 years.

The Knicks outscored the 76ers by 89 points in the series and ran their postseason winning streak to seven, a franchise record. Their average margin of victory of 19.4 points through two rounds is the largest since the playoffs expanded to 16 teams in 1984, and the sweep was New York's first in a best-of-seven series since 1999.
