Well, it’s here. The New York Knicks are playing their final game of the 2010s, which have been as night and day as possible, starting with Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony’s respective arrivals in 2010 and 2011, respectively. It ends with the team’s second 17-65 season and yet another coaching change.
Closing the year is a familiar opponent to the Knicks; one who they have struggled mightily against throughout this decade: the Washington Wizards.
The Wizards were depleted in their most recent matchup with the Knicks. Everyone from Rui Hachimura to Isaiah Thomas and Thomas Bryant was out.
