The dream season continues.

With a Game 4 win over the Cavaliers on Monday night, the Knicks completed a Eastern Conference Finals sweep.

New York is now headed to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.

Mike Brown's squad has been able to do so with one of the most incredible runs in NBA history.

The Knicks have not lost since going down 2-1 to the Hawks with a Game 3 first-round defeat, rattling off 11 consecutive victories against Atlanta, Philly, and now Cleveland.

That is the third-longest postseason winning streak in NBA history.

Brown's team has been clicking on all cylinders from top to bottom, completely dominating their opponents on both ends of the floor on a nightly basis.

They are an incredible +262 during the winning streak, which is the best point differential across 11 games in NBA history, regardless of regular or postseason play.

"We've gotten to this point because we've worked together as a group," Karl-Anthony Towns said. "You can go down the line of guys who have had special moments in this run -- Jalen [Brunson] deserves the MVP, he had an amazing series and does what he always does, it's been a team that's won this game.

"The defense we've played as a team, we've hit shots as a team, we've put each other in positions to success -- and as a result we're finding ourselves with this hat, shirt, trophy, and a chance to cement ourselves in history."

That chance will come against the winner Thunder and Spurs Western Conference Finals, which is knotted up at two games apiece heading into Tuesday’s Game 5.

New York will face another long lay-off before the series gets underway on June 3.

"This team is hungry, that's the most important thing," Towns said. "Even with this amazing, historical win tonight the celebrations were minimal, we want to get back to work -- we know what happened last time we had the layoff, so we talked right after the game about preparing.

"That's what makes this special, and that's what'll give us a chance to win the next series."
