The New York Knicks are earning a break for themselves after a Game 4 win against the Philadelphia 76ers that completed a sweep and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second year in a row.

The Knicks will face off against the winner of the other Eastern Conference series between the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers, which is only three games deep. The Pistons lead 2-1 with Game 4 coming on Monday in Cleveland.

Game 5 for the series is scheduled for Wednesday, while Game 6 would take place on Friday if the Cavs win at least one more game. If the series were to reach Game 7, that would mean the series would end on Sunday, May 17.

If the series goes that long, the Eastern Conference Finals would begin on Tuesday, May 19, either at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit if the Pistons come out on top or Madison Square Garden if the Cavs win the series.

If the series were to end in five or six games, there is potential for the series to begin early on Sunday. This means the Knicks will have at least a week to heal and rest up for the Eastern Conference Finals.

It’s rare to get this kind of break in the middle of the playoffs, but that’s what happens when you take care of business during the postseason.
