In the long arc of playoff basketball, there are nights when a team transcends strategy and enters something closer to inevitability — Sunday in Philadelphia was one of those nights. The New York Knicks, armed with historic three-point shooting, dismantled the 76ers so thoroughly in the first half that the series was decided before the locker rooms emptied at halftime. Tying an NBA Playoffs record with 18 made threes in a single half, New York advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals not merely by winning, but by rendering competition momentarily impossible.
