The Knicks Win A Playoff Series For The First Time Since 2000

It almost didn't happen ( again), but the Knicks were able to hold off an increasingly uncomfortable fourth-quarter comeback from Boston to advance past the first round of playoffs for the first time in more than a decade.

2000 was a long time ago. Lots of crazy things happened the last time the Knicks won a playoff series. Like:
