The New York Knicks have clinically secured a playoff spot in the 2024 NBA Playoffs, clinching at least the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference after a critical win and the Orlando Magic's loss, which allowed them to avoid Boston in the second round. This pivotal moment was reached with the Knicks up 11 with under four minutes to go, and the Miami Heat's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, coupled with the Heat and Hawks being tied in double-overtime. The Knicks' victory and the Magic's defeat led to the Knicks and Magic swapping spots, solidifying the Knicks in third place all by themselves. In the Western Conference, the Clippers and Mavericks secured their playoff berths, with 5 of 6 West playoff spots now claimed. The Knicks, now 1/2 game up on Cleveland, announced playoff tickets for sale, confidently anticipating their top 6 clinch, which was confirmed following these outcomes.
