The New York Knicks franchise experienced its most successful run of basketball between 1969 and 1973. Over the course of the 1969-1970 season the Knicks went 60-22. Led by point guard Walt Frazier, New York overcame a tough seven-game series against the Baltimore Bullets in the opening round of the playoffs before a 4-1 series victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. Contesting the team’s first NBA Finals appearance since three consecutive defeats between 1951 and 1953, the Knicks overcame the Los Angeles Lakers in another seven-game series, bringing an NBA championship to New York City for the first time.
The following year, the Knicks won 52 games and reached the Eastern Conference Finals. They again found themselves embroiled in a seven-game series against the Bullets, but this time came out on the losing end. After a comparatively lackluster 48-win season, the Knicks somewhat surprisingly reached the NBA Finals for the fifth time in franchise history. They matched up against the Lakers once more, though failed to repeat their earlier success, losing the series in five games.
Despite the apparent setbacks following the team’s 1970 NBA Finals victory, the Knicks rebounded for the 1972-1973 season. The team gathered momentum over the course of the regular season, going 57-25. With the exception of a seven-game battle against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks cruised to a second NBA title, turning the tables on the Lakers for a 4-1 series win.
