The fourth place Knicks are 12-1 in their last 13 and will officially finish above .500 for the first time since 2012-13 after beating the Grizzlies so physically and mentally Monday night in Memphis that both their head coach and star point guard got ejected.
The Knicks, which were up roughly seven for much of the night, continue to simply seem, well, good. It’s like watching Patrick Ewing’s Knicks, in that you know they will be actually competing every single night. These Knicks rarely let go of the rope, especially as the season has gone on.
