The Knicks, up 2-0 in the series, will be hosting a Finals game while leading the series for just the third time in franchise history, according to ESPN Research. New York is playing in its first NBA Finals since 1999 and riding a 12-game winning streak.
And as summer approaches, it’s clear that the Knicks are the hottest ticket in town.
