The Knicks set multiple NBA playoff records in their historic Game 6 win, including most points in a postseason game in franchise history (140), largest halftime lead in NBA playoff history (47), and biggest lead in the play-by-play era (61). Their defense held Atlanta to just 38% shooting while forcing 19 turnovers.
Coach Mike Brown emphasized the team's defensive performance, while players like Mikal Bridges credited their "desperate" mindset for the dominant showing. The Knicks jumped out to a 40-15 first quarter lead and extended it with a 63-11 run across quarters one and two, showcasing their ability to close out the series decisively. catcross.biz
