It is amazing.

13 straight playoff victories and to start the NBA Finals, which is the grand final, best of seven, the Knicks win their first two away to San Antonio.

It really sets things up.

They were the outsiders going into this final series, but they've now got three consecutive games at home at Madison Square Gardens with a 2-0 lead.

Now,

We need to go to an expert, not me.

We need to go to an expert to explain exactly what's going on.

So we thought we'd catch up with Benyam Kadhani, who is the senior editor of NBA Australia, and he joins us now.

Welcome to SEN.

Good to be with you, mate.

Well, New York, they've got two in the bank already, and now they go to Madison Square Gardens.

This dream run, they're not far away from winning their first title in a very long time.

Absolutely.

So as I mentioned, it's a long time, 53 years since they've won the title.

And for a long time, particularly in recent times, they've just been a very bad team.

And it's been slowly building.

The pressure now that the Knicks are under, how significant is that?

Because it's one thing to be 2-0 up, but it's now another thing to get in front of your home crowds that just expect it's just going to happen now, I guess.

What's impressed you the most about what the Knicks have done?

Because it hasn't just been in these last two matches.
