Knicks fans savoring record run to first NBA Finals since 1999

NEW YORK -- The song selection at the New York Knicks' watch party couldn't have been more obvious.

Minutes after the Knicks finished their four-game sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals, the DJ at Radio City Music Hall played Prince's "1999."

That had been the last time the Knicks reached the NBA Finals. And as fans sang along to, "So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999," they could forget the more than a quarter of a century of mostly bad years since and enjoy the record-setting run the current team is on.
