The Knicks' all-in moves didn't get them all the way there.

But they are getting close NEW YORK (AP) The New York Knicks went further than theyd gone in 25 years, just not as far as they hoped.

They signaled they were serious about making a run at the NBA title when they traded for Mikal Bridges in the summer and then Karl-Anthony Towns in a preseason blockbuster.

Their all-in moves just couldnt get them all the way there.

The Knicks were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, leaving them without a championship since 1973.

But after advancing to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000 following consecutive second-round exits, they could at least feel that they are getting closer.

So Alcaraz, flung his racket, and as his equipment flipped through the air, its strings made contact with the ball and sent it back over the net.

Initially, defending champion Alcaraz was awarded the point.

But he immediately went over to the chair umpire to admit that he wasnt holding his racket when it touched the ball.

Alcaraz wound up winning 7-6 (8), 6-3, 4-6, 6-4.
