Bleacher Report have released their latest NBA power rankings and the New York Knicks are in a fair position.
With an 8-6 record heading into a big Friday night match-up with the Toronto Raptors, the Knicks came in at no. 17 this week after moving up three spots.
Here’s what B/R wrote about the Knicks:
Teamwise, the Knicks were so close to posting a breakthrough week. Ntilikina and Enes Kanter stood up to James on Monday, seemingly signaling to the league that New York’s doormat days were finished. And then the Cavs erased a 23-point third-quarter deficit and stole a win at Madison Square Garden.
