With their closeout against the Hawks in game 6 (I mean there's still the fourth quarter but come on now) the New York Knicks move on to the second round and thus become the first team in NBA history to both win the prestigious NBA Cup and a playoff series. Some statistical proof

- 2023 Lakers: Won NBA Cup, lost in 5 in the first round

- 2024 Bucks: Won NBA Cup, lost in 5 in the first round

- 2025 Knicks: Won NBA Cup, **did not** lose in 5 in the first round
