After winning just three games in November, the New York Knicks will open December with an eye on improving from 4-15 record. It starts against the Boston Celtics, marking the third time these teams will play just six weeks in. Madison Square Garden will host this first of a back-to-back for New York which starts with the unusual Sunday matinée.
In Friday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Knicks, once again, blew a double-digit point lead. They were in control in the first half, but a slip-up in the final 24 minutes was their downfall. This trend is not disappearing anytime soon as coach David Fizdale’s team continues to drift from the rest of the NBA.
