The New York Knicks are doing everything in their power to improve their seeding in the Eastern Conference as the 2021 regular season comes to a close. With just two games left, the Knicks currently sit in the 6th seed but have secured a playoff spot nonetheless. Thanks to a Boston Celtics loss on Wednesday, they guaranteed NY a spot in the postseason, rather than playing-in as the 7-10 seeds must do.
However, a big victory over the San Antonio Spurs put the Knicks on the right track as they prepare to take on the Charlotte Hornets and Boston Celtics to close this season.
