After losing five consecutive games last week, the New York Knicks have bounced back in a significant way, taking down the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic. In both contests, the Knicks held their opponents to under 100 points, and even more impressively, 84 points. The Magic scored just 84 in the Knicks’ win Monday afternoon on Martin Luther King day.
New York took a major step forward in their desire to climb the Atlantic standings, as they were down four games just two days ago. Now, they are 2.5 games behind Boston and are on the back of a nice two-game winning streak against quality teams.
