On another historic night at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks insisted that they are happy with where they are.
The process was there in front of them in the form of the 76ers, a team with lottery picks Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons forming the nucleus of a club that has added Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris in trades this season, with T.J. McConnell the lone connection to the 10-win squad that was the low point in their process.
But for the Knicks, the process is hazy. The present is their place in history -- extending their franchise-record losing streak to 18 games and stretching the home streak to 17 -- is all on the negative side.
