The New York Knicks post-Bill Clinton have stunk up the whole NBA — but those glory years of Ewing, Starks, and Van Gundy are back again with an unlikely group of players surrounding “immediate turnaround” specialist coach Tom Thibodeau. New York is in 6th place in the East, riding a 5-game winning streak (longest since 2014), and sit three games above .500.
The Pelicans meanwhile?
Well, they lost to those very Knicks just a couple days ago before losing tragically (do the Pels lose in any other fashion?) on a late call to the desperate Wizards on Friday.
