The full leader board can be seen here. https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tiny/im6ee

The precious leaders were the 1973 Bucks and the 1971 Bucks with Kareem.

To be clear, this is overall NBA history, including the regular season. If you look at just the playoffs, second place are the 2017 Warriors +171.

I just got a stathead trial to check out this stat. I saw they had the record for 9 game span after the last game and wanted to see if it’d still hold true after tonight. If you want me to check something on stathead, lmk.

Getting an 11 point win in a game that went to OT is bonkers

Okay buddy but haven’t you heard the East is weak and never win anything

I know you’re being sarcastic but just for people who actually think this:

This record is for any team at any point in time, including regular season.

To do it in the playoffs is absolutely crazy, as no matter how weak people think the East is, a string of playoff teams are obviously better than the mix of teams you play in the regular season.

This Knicks team is historically good. The stats literally prove this.

They were an absolute buzzsaw vs the sixers. Rolled off the strong finish to the hawks series and just seemed not to miss open shots. At all. The sixers aren’t great but the starting five can hang with most anyone when healthy. They couldn’t. At all.

The stats prove that this is a historically dominant stretch. There are too many other factors to conclude that the team itself is historically great just based on this stat from the past 10 games. Pretty much every stat from before these 10 games would indicate they are very good but not historically good.

I don’t think they’re “historically good”. They’re a team who didn’t play as well as they should have in the regular season and is now finding their stride at the right time.

This record is absolutely impressive, but the context of it being against 3 kind of suspect teams is important. I don’t think any of the Cavs, Sixers, or Hawks win a playoff series in the West.

This is completely irrelevant for the stat being discussed

yeah the rockets, suns, trailblazers, and luka-less lakers were all real powerhouses huh? Not to mention Ant on one leg and the sharpshooting Murray-Jokic duo

Jaxson-Skattebo | Knicks

You don’t think any of them beat teams like the Lakers, Suns, Rockets, or Trailblazers at least? That’s an absurd take.

IMO all three of those teams beat every single team I mentioned above.

The blazers and suns wouldn’t have made the playoffs if those 3 teams were in the West

People who don’t watch Knicks regularly didn’t recognize the face this team sleepwalked thru the regular season.

After Thibs treating every game like game 7, the team this year knew the playoffs were all that mattered and only turned it on in the regular season for certain games (it’s why their record against the best teams were so high)

We didnt expect the Knicks to dominate like this but we Knick fans knew the team had another gear for the playoffs that they didn’t use in the regular season.

This entire sub right now is just post about how the Knicks are making playoff history and an absolute juggernaut.

And then the comments are like “but the Thunder will sweep them” lol. Personally I think it would be a great series.

VanGrants | Knicks

because both basketball fans and basketball redditors (rarely is there overlap) are braindead

Yeah everyone is braindead. Or, they are watching both series and observing that the level of play is higher in the WCF. Particularly on the defensive end.

YerrrKnicks | Knicks

They’re braindead if they believe it would be a sweep.

Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss | Knicks

The funniest part is how 80% of those comments aren’t even OKC fans but 5-8th seeds’ fans dickriding them

YerrrKnicks | Knicks

Mostly Western fans trying to ride the coattails of the top 2 as well.

Their teams suck so they have to live vicariously through the top 2 and act like all of the West is superior to the East.

That would be an actually amazing series, especially if the Thunder get healthy. Starting to think the Knicks win either way

I’d prefer the Knicks to win that series, but the Thunder will be favored with good reason.

The Thunder have only lost 1 playoff game and it was in double OT.

There’s literally no chance they lose to New York unless SGA gets hurt. And I hate the thunder with my entire being.

YerrrKnicks | Knicks

5 | 7 hours ago

Knicks lost twice by a grand total of 2 points. They’re now one track to sweep their later opponents and hold the longest win streak in these Playoffs

OKC lost once but by 7. They swept easier teams in the earlier rounds.

And they’ll probably lose at least one more time prior to the Finals.

Saying “literally no chance” is idiotic as all hell.

The Thunder played two garbage teams in the first 2 rounds lolll. The Lakers with no Luka and old LeBron, are not a challenge and the Suns are pathetic.

Very cool stat. FYI you can do this same search on Screwball and it updates in real-time and is free: Best nba team point differential in any 10 game span, reg + playoffs

(though I also have a Stathead subscription so you can keep that too)

They also have the highest margin of victory for an entire playoff run, even factoring in the two losses to ATL. Whatever people want to say about the weakness of the East, idk how you can look at the list of teams they are above and not be impressed.

Since you have the trial, Can you see the record for 11-22 games? Playoff and regular season.

I mean in theory they can lose a game or 2 and still hold the record for 11+ games. Which is insane. No jinx-o please 😭

imafixwoofs | OKC

Can’t wait for the knicks to play a real team in the playoffs.

With their 13 point win, the Knicks have set the record for largest point differential in any 10 game span in NBA history at +225
