There have been 80th NBA Finals to date, including the 2026 edition of the title series.
Only three times in history has a road team gotten them started by going up 2-0.
The Knicks are part of that group, and reading the golden pages of the Association about those two prior cases, it’s guaranteed they’ll end up winning the chip. Ooh-weeeee!

On Robinson doing his job in crunch time:
“He just went and did his job. But that country music probably had something to do with it. I’m a huge fan of country music. So, I think when he listens to country music, he gets the chill vibes, because I know I do.”
On the feeling of the Knicks’ 13-game postseason run:
“It’s an amazing feeling,” coach Mike Brown said, “as a coach to know how mentally tough your team is no matter what the situation is in front of them.”

On the back-and-forth battle in Game 2:
“What a ballgame, a fantastic ballgame. They made a run, we made a run. They made another run, we made another run. Lots of back and forth. We could’ve folded a few times but our guys just kept…
