I remember the Knicks and the Rockets playing a close game at MSG in February 1995 that the Knicks won (after the Knicks had previously crushed them in their first meeting of the 1994-95 season in January in Houston) and that, to me, was actually somewhat of a big deal following the Rockets defeating the Knicks in the 1994 NBA Finals and, well, that really didn’t matter at all.
Just like how this game really doesn’t matter at all, but, well, it’d be nice if the Knicks could win it!
The Rockets aren’t that good, but nor are they that bad, either, so they won’t be pushovers, so hopefully the Knicks can pull this one out.
