Google “NBA standings” and a box appears listing the top five teams in the Eastern Conference. There’s a drop-down arrow you have to click to see the rest of the standings. For as long as I remember, I’ve had to click that damn arrow to see where the Knicks is at. Google the standings. Right now. See that? Look who’s top five after defeating the perennially despised Miami Heat 114-103, New York’s fourth win in a row and ninth victory from 12.
The injury-ravaged Heat were missing Justise Winslow, Dion Waiters, Josh Richardson, James Johnson, Jamal Mashburn, Rony Seikaly, Grant Long and Jon Sundvold.
