The New York Knicks earned their first Eastern Conference finals berth since 2000 with a 119-81 Game 6 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday night at Madison Square Garden. The game wasn't in doubt after the first quarter, as New York absolutely dominated both ends of the floor. It was the largest playoff victory in franchise history.

The Knicks will look to bounce back in Game 6, which sees the series return to Madison Square Garden.
