For 27 years, the New York Knicks have lived in the long shadow of an absence — no NBA Finals, no return to the game's grandest stage. On a Saturday night in Cleveland, they moved within a single victory of stepping back into the light, dismantling the Cavaliers with a composure that spoke not of desperation but of destiny. Ten consecutive playoff wins, an average margin of 22.5 points, and a city holding its breath: this is what a team looks like when it has stopped hoping and started believing.
