The New York Knicks facing the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night was an evening of coming full circle.
You’ll recall it was just a few weeks ago that the Knicks had lost five of six, and a big overtime win against Memphis on April 9 was the start of this hot streak. Now, New York hoped to come away with the win and sweep the season series at FedExForum.
But it wouldn’t be easy, particularly since this was the second half of a back-to-back for the Knicks. They crushed the hapless Houston Rockets 122-97 on Sunday, and now had to face a tough Grizzlies team fresh off of an awful loss.
