New York set an NBA postseason record with 11 threes in the first quarter, and finished with a record-tying 25 for the game.

The Knicks dusted off the belt they used against the Atlanta Hawks and applied it again with force in a 144-114 rout to complete a 4-0 second-round sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.

Jalen Brunson scored a game-high 25 points, and New York led by as many as 44 en route to a 144-114 road win on Sunday in Philadelphia. The Knicks won the East semifinals series 4-0 and now advance to the Eastern Conference finals to meet the winner of the series between the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers.

The postseason did contain a win in the first series, but the Sixers still need to find a go-to 3-point shooter or shooters.
