Review of the NY Knicks team performance, results and statistics.
Knicks Defense Digs in to Defeat Nuggets The unimaginable occurred in Denver last night, Julius Randle led the Knicks defense in clawing out a win. Yes, the Nuggets were without league MVP Nikola Jokic and starting PF Aaron Gordon. In any event, the victory was less important than the way the team, especially Julius Randle, …
Knicks Team Play Beats Jazz Coach Tom Thibodeau tightened his rotation and Immanuel Quickley was the immediate beneficiary. In his 26 min. on the floor, Quick scored 13 very timely points and a +/- of +18. The four steals only tells part of the IQ story on D. On many P&R plays where Sims had …
Knicks Outpaced by OKC Another short sighted suggestion for improving the Knicks record goes by the wayside. Against the Celts and the Thunder the Knicks’ offense ran wild. Their pace was amazing. They lost both games. Boston was missing Al Horford and Robert Williams III, so it was understandable that the game plan was to …
Knicks Take Care of Business Against Pistons The Detroit Piston New York Knicks game went by the book. Once New York took the lead late in the first period, they held it.

Knicks Drown in Cavs Threes The most apparent reason the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the New York Knicks was their 46% three point shooting. Kevin Love and Donovan Mitchell were both 8-13 from deep.
