The New York Knicks (34-42) are finally coming together, about a month-ish too late. They’re 9-6 over their last 15 games and have the league’s sixth-best net rating (5.9) over that span. Currently, the Knicks are surfing on a four-win wave, a streak in which they have bested two first-place teams (Miami, Chicago) and the Charlotte Hornets (39-37), who buzz into Madison Square Garden tonight for a rematch.
With six games remaining, the Knicks sit 4.5 games back from the 10th place Hawks and the final play-in spot. The odds of our heroes reaching the playoffs are about the same as me being signed as their next starting point guard.
