The NY Knicks find themselves in the middle of the Eastern Conference playoff race, currently sitting at the 4th seed but just two games out of the dreaded Play-In Tournament.
Their surprising success has been driven by the defensive system of new head coach Tom Thibodeau and the immense improvements made by Julius Randle.
The first time All-Star has taken his game to a new level in a season that will likely earn him the NBA’s Most Improved Player award.
