It’s only December and the New York Knicks have already defeated the Chicago Bulls, Indiana Pacers, and Miami Heat. Even more important than winning games against rivals, however, is the fact that New York is 15-13 and in control of its own destiny.
Though New York is happy to be winning in December, the focus remains on something bigger: building a sustainable contender.
15-13 is an excellent place to be after 28 games, especially when one considers that New York has 10 new players and a new head coach. The goal is to make the playoffs and compete for a championship, however, and the Knicks are still 54 games away from doing so.
