The Knicks get their second game in Detroit, and a chance to break this series wide open. With the Boston Celtics struggling with health (and a bruising Orlando team that I think has probably concussed half of the Boston team), if the Knicks can wrap this series up in five games, that would give them a huge advantage against Boston. Perhaps not enough to win the series, but it would still be a huge advantage.
So, well, let’s hope they just do that.
Let’s go, Knicks!
14 wins to go!
The Dylan tune is “Early Roman Kings” from his second-to-most-recent album, Tempest.
