As fans continue to get excited for the start of the NBA Playoffs, New York has sent a six-word message to its fans ahead of Game 1. In a social media post on X, the Knicks sent a message to hype up their fans for the series opener. They also shared a hype video along with the post.

New York beating Detroit had become something of an NBA certainty, with the Knicks doing it 16 straight times over a span of five years.

The New York Knicks will open the 2025 NBA postseason with a first-round best-of-seven series against the resurgent Detroit Pistons. New York is aiming to win a first-round series for the third straight year, before potentially meeting the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals if it can advance.
