The NBA Playoffs produced two very different outcomes in a busy double-header of Conference Semifinals action—one series reaching a swift and decisive conclusion, while another was pushed deeper into a tense, evenly matched battle.
In the East, one team stamped its authority early and never let up, turning the matchup into a one-sided showcase.
In the West, however, momentum continued to swing back and forth as neither side managed to gain full control of the series, setting up a dramatic finish moving forward.
Knicks complete sweep of 76ers, 144–114
The New York Knicks completed a commanding sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 4, overpowering them 144-114 to book a 4-0 series victory and punch their ticket to the next round.
Karl-Anthony Towns led the way for New York with a strong all-around outing, finishing with 17 points and 10 assists while Miles McBride unleashed his playoff career high of 25 points, four rebounds as the Knicks maintained control from start to finish.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, leaned on a 24-point effort from Joel Embiid, but could not slow down New York’s offensive rhythm across the four-game series.
The Knicks’ sweep underlined their consistency on both ends, turning what was expected to be a competitive matchup into a one-sided statement.
