The New York Knicks have not been a fun matchup for the opposing team this season. They sit at 41–27 this season and hold the fourth position in the Eastern Conference standings. The Knick’s poor offense will be a separate article, but for a quick summary, they haven’t been good at putting the ball in the hoop. It’s a team built on defense, rebounding, and hustle.
New York’s defense has been top-notch this season. They have allowed the second-fewest points per game, holding teams to under 108 points per game. When playing in front of their home crowd in Madison Square Garden, that number drops to 105 points per game, second among home teams.
