New York Knicks basketball remains the hottest show in town despite the emergence of the Brooklyn Nets as a legitimate title contender this season.
The Knicks have become the league’s Cinderella story this season, defying tall odds to advance to the playoffs for the first time in eight years. And not only did they break the long playoff drought, but the Knicks have also clinched a homecourt advantage in the first round with the fourth seed.
They will host the Atlanta Hawks in Game 1 on Sunday in what is expected to be a loud and relatively packed Madison Square Garden.
