In a little more than half a season, the Knicks have won the same number of games they won in a season-plus under coach David Fizdale.
The Knicks' win over the Magic Thursday raised their record to 21-21. Under Fizdale, they were 17-65 his first season and 4-18 when he was fired in December of 2019. When the Knicks' 2019-20 season ended last March, they had gone 21-43 under Fizdale and interim coach Mike Miller.
Perhaps it's only appropriate that the Knicks' 94-93 win over Orlando was their 21st of the season, given that it was almost a microcosm of their season under Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau.
