The Knicks are in an interesting place right now. They are in the midst of a nine-game winning streak, which is tied for the longest of Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks tenure, and are coming off of a solid win against the Jazz without star point guard Jalen Brunson, where their defense shined. And over the last few weeks, the confidence around the team from both the fans, as well as those covering the league, has consistently gone up.
Brunson has continued to be the rock that this team often falls back on more often than not. Karl-Anthony Towns is putting together a dominant season that may go down as one of, if not, the best season of his career.
