The New York Knicks have won back-to-back games in recent days, overcoming a strong Milwaukee Bucks team and an undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers squad on Tuesday evening.
The Knicks started off the season with two consecutive losses, but their latest win over Cleveland was impressive. They held their opponents to 86 points after they won their first three games of the season, scoring a low of 118. While the Knicks only reached 95, their defense put in the work.
New head coach Tom Thibodeau has harped on defensive efficiency, being aggressive toward opponents and dominating in the trenches.
