The New York Knicks have come a long way in a short period of time. Originally pegged to finish last in the NBA, the Knicks are going to be hosting a playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks.
There is no questioning it after 72 games — the Knicks were the very best story of the 2020-21 season. Of course, they are hoping to add to this season with a deep run into the playoffs, but they have already exceeded expectations.
This will be the first trip to the playoffs for a number of Knicks, including Julius Randle and RJ Barrett.
