The rule of three states that things that come in a trio are more satisfying. That is factual when it comes to the New York Knicks (10-24). The Knickerbockers are on a three-game winning streak for the first time since November of 2018 after smacking the Portland Trail Blazers by the score of 117-93. The team’s success begins on defense and is ultimately translating into easier looks on offense.
The Knicks allowed Carmelo Anthony safe passage in Madison Square Garden. The former Knick legend received a warm welcome from the Madison Square Garden crowd en route to 26 points—a season-high—on 11-for-15 shooting.
