History

Historical Context

In 1999 the New York Knicks, as an eighth seed with a 27-23 record, became the first low-seed team to reach the NBA Finals, ultimately falling to the San Antonio Spurs in five games after Allan Houston’s buzzer-beater clinched the series-winning Game 5 against Miami. The 2024 playoff tip-in by OG Anunoby echoes that clutch legacy, underscoring the Knicks’ long-standing reliance on late-game heroics.
