The New York Knicks have started the 2021 season in inspiring fashion, currently sitting with a 7-8 record, good for 4th in the Atlantic Division. While they lost five consecutive games just over a week ago, they have won back to back games against the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic, showing stellar defense and holding both teams to under 85 points.
Thanks to incredible performances by Julius Randle, who is averaging 22.8 points per game, and the elevation of RJ Barrett in his second year, who is averaging 17.1 points per game, the Knicks have managed to escape a few close victories.
