The New York Knicks, fueled by a stunning three-point barrage, powered past the Philadelphia 76ers 144-114 on Sunday and into the NBA Eastern Conference finals.

The Knicks equalled a playoffs record with 11 first-quarter three-pointers and piled up a record-equalling 18 in the first half, setting an early tone on the way to their seventh straight victory of these playoffs.

They finished with a playoff record-equalling 25 treys as they polished off a 4-0 sweep of the 76ers in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semi-finals and reach the conference finals for the second straight year after not going that deep in the playoffs for 24 straight seasons.

The 2026 New York Mets hit another low over the weekend. They got swept by the last-place Colorado Rockies in Queens, by scores of 4-3, 3-1 and 3-0. 

The Mets are 9-19 and tied with the Phillies for the worst record in baseball.

Meanwhile, the Mets’ offense, which was missing Juan Soto and now is missing Francisco Lindor, has been slumping to a shocking degree. 

The Mets finally ended their 12-game losing streak but looked terrible at home over the weekend against Colorado.

How secure is manager Carlos Mendoza’s job? 

Burger King is sliding into the slider game. The fast-food chain announced that it will test a new “King Size Sliders Box” for a limited time.

The company said that the new offering is bigger than a slider but smaller than a burger. Guests can build their own box of six king-size sliders, mixing and matching from their choice of three flavors of burgers.

The Deluxe Slider is topped with fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles and tangy burger aioli.

The Steakhouse Bacon Slider features melty Swiss cheese, crispy bacon, crispy onions and peppercorn sauce. The third option is the Bacon & Cheese Slider, topped with crispy bacon, melted American cheese and tangy burger aioli.

All three of the options have a “100% flame-grilled beef patty” and come on a “soft and buttery slider bun.”

The news comes shortly after Burger King announced that the Whopper is getting a makeover for the first time in nearly a decade.
