Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
The Magic head to Madison Square Garden to take part in the Knicks’ annual MLK Day matinee.
It was expected to be a “one losing streak must come to an end” type of game, but then the Knicks surprisingly routed the Celtics, 105-75, in Boston on Sunday to snap their five-game losing streak.
Now about 20 hours after that game ended, the Knicks tip off against a Magic team on a five-game losing streak of its own.
The Knicks have jumped out to a better start than expected this season under new head coach Tom Thibodeau, starting the season 5-3 before hitting that skid.
