From Marc Berman: It was a great battle of power-forward stud southpaws as Zion Williamson went toe to toe with Julius Randle. But the game was decided by the Knicks’ backcourt of Derrick Rose and Reggie Bullock, propelling the Knicks to their sixth straight victory, 122-112 in overtime, over the Pelicans to move their record […]

The Knicks host the Pellies for a sort of off-brand home and home game. The Knicks handled the Pelicans pretty well last time, so I’m confident that the Knicks can keep this streak moving to six! Let’s go pick six, Knicks!
From Marc Berman: Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle knew what his club might be in for with Julius Randle back in his hometown of Big D. “He’s an All-Star who loves coming back to play here,’’ Carlisle said before the game. And how. Friday was Randle’s best game yet — and one of the Knicks’ most […]
The Knicks head to Dallas to hopefully put more of a stamp on their chances of avoiding the play-in games while also helping to make sure that the Dallas Mavericks do have to play in the play-in games (and hopefully lose them both and have their first round pick, which goes to the Knicks, end […]
The Knicks head to the Big Easy to take on the New Orleans Pelicans, with the Knicks facing off against Zion Williamson for the first time ever! We saw RJ Barrett up his game during the clutch against the #2 pick of the draft where Barrett was taken third, so will he do the same […]
From Marc Berman: It was too much Julius Randle and too much Knicks’ defense for the Lakers to handle. Yes, this was Lakers Lite, but Randle punished his former team with 34 points and 10 rebounds and the Knicks’ crushing defense stymied the gold-clad defending champions in a 111-96 victory. The Lakers (33-21) are the […]
The Knicks host the supporting cast of the Los Angeles Lakers tonight at the Garden with an excellent chance to get over .500. I’m honestly surprised that other NBA teams aren’t protesting tonight over the Daunte Wright shooting.
From Marc Berman: The famous Garden pinwheeled ceiling sprung a leak as rain pounded the roof Sunday night, causing a 14-minute delay. And for an uncharacteristicly long segment of the second half, the Knicks defense sprung a leak, too. After going up by 18 points early in the third quarter, the Knicks couldn’t do a […]
The Knicks host the weird ass Toronto Raptors tonight with a very good chance to both get back to .500 and also let the Raptors know that, seriously, they can just give up already and just properly tank. OG Anunoby (taken 15 picks after Frank Ntilikina) is resting tonight, Fred VanVleet is out, Deandre Bembry […]
From Peter Bolle: If the Knicks plan to make a serious and upward move in the Eastern Conference standings, Friday night’s game began the favorable stretch for them to do so. And their furious comeback in a 133-129 overtime victory over the Grizzlies at the Garden might just serve as the springboard. Leading scorers Julius […]
