The first half of December has been an interesting one for the Knicks. They’ve gone 5-2, which is hard to complain about, but it’s been an incredibly up-and-down seven games. Some nights, they look incredible and play like a team that has a shot at contending come May—look no further than the three-game stretch where they beat the Pelicans, Magic, and Hornets by an average of 24 points—but on other nights—like the ones when they played the Pistons and Hawks—they look like they are very far from becoming the team we want them to become.
Aside from the inconsistent play, this month has also given us some really interesting stats that stand out.
