The New York Knicks might only be 2-2 on this season, but a culture change is noticeable. New head coach Tom Thibodeau has entirely overhauled the mentality within the organization, implementing a win-now strategy that has brought the best out of a group of players that doesn’t seem to fit together.
Ultimately, they were puzzle pieces that hadn’t yet been formulated into a complete puzzle, but Thibodeau is slowly piecing things together and seeing the fruits of his labor. Over the past two games, the Knicks have beaten strong teams in the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers, and they are gearing up to face off against another formidable opponent in the Toronto Raptors.
