GREENBURGH, N.Y. — In the wake of franchise-record losing streaks, overall and at Madison Square Garden the Knicks have actually put together a week of solid play, winning three of their last four games.
And that is a bit of a cause for panic among the fan base.
The Knicks have ascended from the worst record in the NBA to the second-worst mark, 1 1/2 games ahead of Phoenix after Tuesday’s win over Orlando. They are a game behind Cleveland, which arrives at Madison Square Garden Thursday night for game with possible ramifications on the Ping-Pong ball chase in the NBA Draft Lottery.
