The New York Knicks have done the improbable, clinching the two seed in the Eastern Conference on the final day of the regular season. A game-82 matchup with the Bulls was pushed to overtime, but the Knicks prevailed, reaching the 50-win mark for the first time since the 2012-13 season and ultimately clinching home court for at least two series (should they get there).
That being said, the job’s just getting started.
The real season starts on Saturday, with the Knicks hosting the first game of their first-round matchup. Tomorrow, their opponent will be decided in the play-in game, and either the Philadelphia 76ers or the Miami Heat will be coming to town.
