The Knicks, resigned about facing Boston in IST Consolation game
Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesThe New York Knicks did something last week only seven other franchises have ever done in NBA history: clinch the knockout stage of the In-Season Tournament.
The reward? A meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks (one of five times both teams will meet this season, a new one) and depending on the outcome of that game, a matchup against either the Boston Celtics or the Indiana Pacers. Welp.
No matter what they ended up doing, making the IST QF was always going to suck unless the Knicks clinched the first-ever NBA Cup.
