You could point to the Washington Wizards’ visit to Madison Square Garden as a chance for the Wizards and Knicks to battle for 11th place in the Eastern Conference, one spot away from a play-in berth.

On the scoreboard, the Knicks took a late 15-point lead and escaped with a 100-97 win, pushing them a half-game ahead of the Wizards.
