It is becoming clear that the New York Knicks are a product of their coaching, as their most recent three-game win streak has indicated a massive step forward in defensive play, and some of the younger players are witnessing fantastic development as the season progresses.
While New York is one game under .500, they are playing better than most anticipated coming into the 2021 season. During their three-game win streak, they held the Celtics and Magic to under 84 points, going on to trounce the Golden State Warriors 119-104.
One key player to their success has been second-year shooting guard RJ Barrett.
