NBA Playoffs Full Second Round Schedule, TV, How to Watch
The New York Knicks not only advanced past the Cavaliers in the first round of the NBA playoffs, but they did so in only five games. Entering Game 5 with a 3-1 lead, New York took care of business on the road, as did Miami, who upset Milwaukee, the top team in the East. An epic Knicks-Heat Eastern Conference Semifinals battle is on the way.
Four teams from each conference will compete in the semifinals and the winner of each series will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. It’s been 23 years since the Knicks competed in the ECF.
New York secured homecourt advantage in the semifinals with Miami’s win over Milwaukee, meaning that Games 1, 2, 5 (if needed), and 7 (if needed) will be held at the Garden.
