NBA Playoffs: Knicks sweep 76ers, advance to Eastern Conference finals
New York might be "the city that never sleeps," but the Knicks can get a little rest over the next week. They'll have some time on their hands prior to the Eastern Conference finals after sweeping the 76ers with an emphatic 144-114 win.
Every Knicks starter totaled at least 12 points. Miles McBride dropped 25. Karl-Anthony Towns picked up the double-double with 10 assists. The entire team was on fire from 3-point range, knocking down 57% of its shots from beyond the arc.
After facing a 2-1 deficit against the Hawks in the first round, the Knicks have rattled off seven straight wins and are sitting pretty just eight wins from an NBA title.

Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox dies at 84
In sad news over the weekend, legendary Braves manager Bobby Cox died at the age of 84. A fiery personality, Cox was known for his tirades on the diamond, and he still holds the record for manager ejections.
