Last night’s win in Memphis has a very good case for being the best of the Knickerbockers’ 39 victories this season. While others were prettier (including the first win over the Grizzlies), this type of grind-out road win that featured clutch shots and a big defensive stop is something that can inspire a fanbase that hasn’t had much to be inspired about after the team’s struggles against the league’s elite.
Even if the Knicks couldn’t pull that one out, the real win came in the return of the team’s longest-tenured player.
