The New York Knicks currently have sole possession of the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference, overcoming the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday evening to take a .5 game lead. They are also one game ahead of the Boston Celtics, and with their latest eight-game win streak propelling them into a guaranteed playoff spot, the Knicks will be holding on for dear life as the next 12 regular season games unfold.
The rise to success for the Knicks hasn’t been a mystery, it is a combination of mentality, hard work, and fantastic coaching from head coach Tom Thibodeau.
