NEW YORK (AP) — By the time Jalen Brunson and the Knicks returned home, it was as easy to find something orange around New York as at Halloween.
The city was caught up in this championship run for nearly two months and the party will last at least a few days more, with the Knicks’ first parade through New York — they didn’t have one in 1970 or ’73 — scheduled for Thursday.
The team will be remembered long after the confetti is picked up off the streets of Broadway — and not only in New York.
The 2025-26 Knicks have a place in NBA history.
Their postseason performance is in the discussion for the best in the 80-year history of the league, a run of routs and then comebacks for their first championship since 1973.
