The New York Knicks should be happy after ending their three-game losing streak, but the celebration should be short.
So they beat the Detroit Pistons by a ridiculous 125-81 margin. That’s a nice bounceback win, except the Pistons are the worst team in the Eastern Conference. Yet, this past Wednesday, these same Knicks blew a fourth-quarter lead against the league-worst Minnesota Timberwolves.
None of this is to downplay the Knicks, who improved to 25-25 with Saturday night’s win. This makes them the No. 7 seed in the East, though they trail the No. 4 spot by just a game.
