PHILADELPHIA -- Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and the New York Knicks are back in the Eastern Conference finals, tying an NBA postseason record with 11 3-pointers in the first quarter in front of a raucous crowd rooting for the road team and rolling past the Philadelphia 76ers 144-114 on Sunday to sweep their second-round series.

Deuce McBride hit seven of New York's 25 3-pointers and scored 25 points. Brunson had 22 points, and Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns each scored 17 in the Knicks' latest lopsided playoff victory. They've now outscored opponents by 194 points in 10 games this postseason, the best point-differential in a 10-game span in NBA playoff history

The Knicks advanced to the East finals for the second straight season and will play the winner of the Cleveland-Detroit series, which the Pistons lead 2-1.
