The New York Knicks are currently on a five-game losing streak, with their last defeat coming against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks lost by just three points, making it their ninth straight game where they’ve allowed more than 100 points to their opponent. They are currently four games behind in the Atlantic standings, preparing to face off against the Boston Celtics, who are currently in first place and on a five-game winning streak.
This season has been incredibly difficult for the Knicks so far, forcing them to travel routinely. For new teams with new coaching staff’s and faces, the lack of preseason and time to iron out the kinks was unavailable.
