For the first time this season, the New York Knicks have won four consecutive games, beating the Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers, and New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday evening.
Against New Orleans, the Knicks won by a 10 point margin but didn’t get the showcase they expected from point guard Lonzo Ball. Ball is an expected free-agent target for New York this upcoming off-season, and while he didn’t feature in the contest, there is a reason to believe he will be one of their top targets.
Nonetheless, the Knicks didn’t take it easy on New Orleans, who entered the game with a three-game win streak themselves.
