Knicks trounce Celtics in Game 6 to make first East Conference Finals in 25 years
NY Post
The volume in the building kept increasing. The noise became deafening.
The Knicks were headed to the Eastern Conference finals and everyone inside Madison Square Garden knew it.
“Knicks in six!” the orange and blue faithful chanted several times throughout this unexpected blowout. “Knicks in six!”
As the lead kept expanding, all the way up to 41 points, Knicks fans got louder. It was earsplitting when Jaylen Brown fouled out with 2:50 remaining in the third quarter. Somehow the roar became even more thunderous when Josh Hart beat multiple Celtics to an offensive rebound near the 3-point line and found OG Anunoby for a 3-pointer.
The Knicks didn’t just advance Friday night.
They didn’t just clinch a playoff series at MSG for the first time since 1999.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
