The New York Knicks' 12-game playoff winning streak is an impressive feat, but it's not without its caveats. While their point differential is significantly higher than the Golden State Warriors' 15-game streak, the Knicks' opponents have been less formidable. The 2026 Spurs, who the Knicks beat in Game 1, are a strong team, but they don't compare to the 61-win Spurs of 1999 or the other teams the Warriors faced. The real test for the Knicks will be facing stronger competition in the later rounds. Despite this, their offensive and defensive efficiency is unparalleled, and they have the talent to make a deep playoff run. The question remains: can they sustain this momentum and make a case for being the greatest playoff team of all time?
