The Golden State Warriors once held the record for the best postseason point differential in NBA history, but that record has now been claimed by the New York Knicks. The Knicks capped off a dominant postseason run by defeating the San Antonio Spurs in five games to secure the NBA championship. According to Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints, the 2025-26 New York Knicks finished the playoffs with a remarkable 16-3 record and a +283 point differential, surpassing the Warriors' previous record. The Warriors' 2016-2017 team, featuring stars like Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, was known for its dominance, but the Knicks have now etched their name in history. Most of the Knicks' point differential came from their closeout games against the Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers, and Cleveland Cavaliers. Their fans played a significant role in creating an electric atmosphere, even on the road, making it feel like Madison Square Garden wherever they went. In Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the Knicks made an incredible comeback from a 29-point deficit, showcasing their resilience and teamwork. Anunoby expressed the excitement of the moment, emphasizing the brotherhood within the team. This championship run has been a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Knicks, proving that they have truly earned their place in NBA history.
