The first half of the 2020-2021 season surpassed just about every NY Knicks fan’s wildest expectations. After seven years of futility and dread, the orange and blue appear to possibly be on the verge of their first playoff appearance since 2013.
The Knicks enter the second half of the season in the fifth slot in the Eastern Conference.
