The 2012-13 New York Knicks season was a landmark year for the franchise, highlighted by a dominant 54-28 record and their first Atlantic Division title in 19 years. Led by league scoring champion Carmelo Anthony and Sixth Man of the Year J.R. Smith, the team electrified Madison Square Garden with a high-powered offense that set a then-NBA record for three-pointers made in a season. The Knicks reached the Eastern Conference Semifinals after defeating the Boston Celtics in the opening round, marking their most successful postseason run in over a decade and re-establishing the team as a premier force in the league.
