The New York Knicks' incredible journey towards the NBA title continues. Mike Brown's squad secured their 13th consecutive playoff victory this year, following a dramatic 105-104 road win over the San Antonio Spurs this morning.
The Knicks now hold a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Texans, and history shows that no team has ever overcome a 0-2 deficit in a playoff series after losing their first two home games.
Will Victor Wembanyama and company be the first to defy this trend? It's not impossible, but it will be an uphill battle, especially considering the dominant fashion in which the Big Apple team has been steamrolling opponents in the playoffs.
New York swept both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-0. Prior to that, they also notched three consecutive wins against the Atlanta Hawks at the start of the playoffs, after the Hawks initially led the series 2-1 before ultimately falling 4-2.
