It’s official! The NY Knicks will make their first postseason appearance since the 2012-2013 squad led by Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudamire, Tyson Chandler, and Jason Kidd.
Even more astoundingly, this chance at bonus basketball will not come through the newly instituted play-in tournament.
At the beginning of the season, a scrappy Knicks team clawing their way to a play-in berth would have felt like a win.
Fast forward several months, and the upstart New York crew finds themselves with a 41-31 record and sitting in the #4 seed with home-court advantage in the first round.
