Quick facts New York Knicks season, Head coach ...

Marginally improving on last year's record, the Knicks finished the regular season 51–31 and advanced to play the Detroit Pistons in the first round. Despite losing 2 out of 3 games at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks would win all 3 games at Detroit to win the series in 6. In the conference semifinals, against the defending champions, the Boston Celtics, the Knicks dethroned the 2024 champions in 6 games, advancing to their first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years since 2000. It was also the first time in 26 years where they had clinched a playoff series at home, the last instance being in the 1999 NBA playoffs. New York would once again face off with the rival Indiana Pacers in the conference finals; the Pacers would eliminate the Knicks in six games, ending their season.
