The Knicks can taste it.

New York is looking for an Eastern Conference finals sweep of the Cavaliers on Monday night after taking Game 3, 121-108.

Another win on Monday night would put the Knicks in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, when they lost to the Spurs.

The Knicks have been in control since rallying from a 21-point fourth quarter deficit to steal Game 1 of the series.

Can they finish off the Cavaliers on their home floor? Follow The Post for live updates throughout the night.
