After seven tumultuous seasons filled with uncertainty and little to no sign of resolution in sight, the New York Knicks, for the first time in a long time, have shown a small glimpse of promise and hope in 2021.
Surmounting already nine wins in 22 games played, new Head Coach Tom Thibodeau’s defensive expertise and experience has spearheaded this young Knicks team into the next pivotal step of growth and development that they so desperately needed.
Allowing only 104.2 points per game to their opponents, the Knicks currently have the best defense in the NBA and have founded their success on locking down their opposition, holding teams to a shooting average of 43.
