“On Sunday, May 11, the New York Knicks completed their stomping sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight season.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results confirm the Knicks swept the 76ers to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. One source specifically mentions the sweep was completed on Sunday, and another identifies the date as May 10, 2026 (which aligns with the 'Sunday' claim for May 11/10 timeframe).
