With just one more game to go before the All-Star break, the New York Knicks have the opportunity to improve to 36-18, which would be three more than the amount they had heading into the break just a year ago. To do so, though, they’ll have to come away with a win against a 26-28 Atlanta Hawks team coming off a five-game stretch that includes nice wins against the Pistons, Bucks, and the Magic.
The Knicks, despite the occasional outcry among the fanbase, have had a nice stretch as well, going 8-2 in their last 10 games.
