The New York Knicks have overcome a grueling schedule to reach .500 at 6-6. It’s a significant feat by a team that’s had 10 games against teams that made the playoffs in 2014-15.
Game No. 13 won’t be as much of a relief as that statistic may suggest.
Despite going 45-37, the Oklahoma City Thunder missed the playoffs in 2014-15. Reloaded with a new head coach and a plethora of depth, however, OKC has surrounded stars Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka with all they need to win a championship.
