The New York Knicks, legitimately good basketball team, strolled into Houston Saturday and knocked off a struggling Rockets club, 107-102. Statistically speaking, it was a matchup between the league's most improved team and the league's most regressed team -- a regressed team missing their starting center, no less.
Now that I've given you some context, I want you to grab a can of gasoline, pour it all over that context, and light that shit on fire. Screw context -- the Knicks defeated the Houston Rockets! In Houston! In a basketball game!
The Rockets are usually not given their rightful place in the pantheon of Knicks tormentors.
