Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges have thrived under pressure, both key contributors in the Knicks’ wild playoff run.

The New York Knicks haven't won an NBA championship since 1973. The Indiana Pacers won their most recent title that year — in the ABA. The Oklahoma City Thunder franchise has one title in its history, that coming in 1979 when the team called Seattle home. And the Minnesota Timberwolves have never even been to the NBA Finals.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Wednesday scored 34 points in three quarters as the Oklahoma City Thunder set NBA and team records in their 149-106 win over the Denver Nuggets, which tied the NBA Western Conference semi-final series at one game apiece.
