The New York Knicks are chasing a feat never before accomplished in NBA history, and the basketball world is locked in on this remarkable playoff run. They are not simply winning postseason games — they are rewriting the record books and putting together one of the most dominant stretches the league has ever seen.

The Knicks have now won 10 consecutive playoff games during the 2026 postseason, becoming just the 10th team in NBA history to reach that milestone. The streak is currently tied for the fifth-longest playoff winning streak ever. Yet the significance of this run goes far beyond the victories themselves.

The Knicks have not captured an NBA title since 1973, and this postseason surge has revived memories of those championship years across New York City. Through these 10 wins, they have outscored opponents by a combined 225 points — the best point differential over any 10-game span in NBA history, whether in the regular season or playoffs.

Their average margin of victory during the streak is an astounding 22.5 points per game, the highest ever recorded during a 10-game postseason winning streak. Nine of those 10 victories have come by double digits.

Over the course of the streak, the Knicks have scored 1,222 points while allowing only 997, overwhelming opponents on both ends of the floor. They also became the first team in NBA history to win three straight playoff games by at least 25 points. Their +212 point differential through the first nine games marked the most dominant nine-game stretch the league has ever witnessed.

Numbers Suggest a Championship-Caliber Run

The Knicks are now the 13th team in NBA history to win at least nine consecutive games in a single postseason. Of the previous 12 teams to accomplish that feat, seven went on to win the NBA championship.

They are also only the sixth team ever to post a point differential of +200 or better across a nine-game span. The Oklahoma City Thunder achieved the same mark earlier in this postseason.

Notably, the 1973 Knicks — the franchise’s last championship team — are also part of that exclusive group. With each game, the parallels between this current squad and that legendary team continue to grow stronger.
