Hawks Outlasted All Three Finals Teams

The New York Knicks just won their first championship since 1973, sweeping Philly and Cleveland before beating San Antonio in the Finals—losing just one game. But here’s the twist: the Atlanta Hawks, who they beat 4-2 in the first round, actually won more games against them than all three later opponents combined. Atlanta stole two close wins, including one at MSG, putting early pressure on the Knicks. After that, New York cruised—sweeping the next two rounds and winning the Finals 4-1. The Hawks’ two wins? More than the other three teams’ combined total. The champs’ toughest foe? The lowest-seeded team they faced. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
