Thanks to a Boston Celtics loss on Wednesday night (man, I love saying that!), the NY Knicks have clinched a playoff berth.
The NY Knicks are officially fighting for seeds 4-6 and have avoided the play-in tournament. It is the team’s first time back in the playoffs in 8 years since the 2012-13 postseason.
Speaking of those playoffs and that New York team, one of the reasons many fans look back at that squad fondly was because of how great they played team basketball, much like this year’s Knicks.
