"The Knicks entered the 2024-25 season with lofty aspirations after blockbuster trades to acquire Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. But nobody could have envisioned how their second-round playoff series against the defending champion Boston Celtics would play out. The Knicks overcame 20-point second-half deficits to win Games 1 and 2 in Boston, then erased a 14-point second-half deficit to win Game 4 at home. After the Knicks wrapped up the series with a 119-81 win in Game 6, thousands of reveling fans took over 7th Ave. and other streets surrounding Madison Square Garden for a raucous celebration. It marked the Knicks' first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000."
"A year after advancing to the World Series, the Yankees were eliminated in the ALDS this October, extending their title drought to 16 years. But Yankees fans were able to enjoy another season for the ages from Aaron Judge. Judge hit an MLB-best .331 to win his first career batting title, and he also led the majors in on-base percentage (.457), slugging percentage (.688)"
New York's teams failed to win a major championship in 2025, continuing a multi-year drought without a Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals or Stanley Cup. The Knicks made blockbuster offseason moves by acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges, staged dramatic comebacks in a second-round series against the defending champion Boston Celtics, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals before losing to the Indiana Pacers in six games. The Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau, hired Mike Brown, and revamped the bench in an active offseason. The Yankees were eliminated in the ALDS, while Aaron Judge won a batting title (.331) and led the majors in OBP (.457) and slugging (.688).
