What happened: Since their last defeat on April 23, the New York Knicks have secured 13 consecutive victories, a mark that currently exceeds the total wins recorded by both the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels in the same period. While the Knicks moved to a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals with a 105-104 win over the Spurs, the Tigers and Angels have each managed only 10 wins since late April.

Why it matters: The statistical anomaly highlights the Knicks' historic postseason dominance as they chase their first title in 53 years. New York's 13-game winning streak is the second-longest in NBA postseason history, trailing only the 2017 Warriors. In contrast, the Tigers and Angels have struggled through a difficult May, with both MLB teams currently sitting more than 10 games under .500 as the baseball regular season enters its third month.

What to watch: The Knicks look to extend their streak in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday.
