In the limited capacity for fans, Madison Square Garden has still managed to sound nearly like a full house on most days when the Knicks are playing and particularly of late as they have put together a nine-game winning streak, pushing themselves into fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
And the noise predictably has been chants of "M-V-P" for Julius Randle, screams for three-point field goals from the assortment of improving shooters and Beatles at Shea Stadium-like cries when Obi Toppin does just about anything.
