NEW YORK, NEW YORK — The NBA schedule is a grueling affair and the 82-game season is no easy mountain to climb. No aspect of the schedule embodies the grueling nature more than the dreaded back-to-back games. The 2018-19 New York Knicks will experience their second back-to-back of the season on Monday night and it’s another opportunity for growth for the youthful squad.
The first weekend of the season the Knicks were popped in the mouth with a back-to-back featuring the Brooklyn Nets and the Boston Celtics. It was an early education for David Fizdale and his young squad and despite coming up winless in the pair of games, we learned a lot about the makeup of this team.
