Last night’s loss to the Bucks notwithstanding, the New York Knicks have played well recently, and it’s not gone unnoticed. Zach Harper of The Athletic published his updated NBA power rankings yesterday and has raised your Knickerbockers from 16th to 10th place. (Article is paywalled.)
Harper would be remiss not to observe that New York had performed inconsistently of late (the eight straight wins, the five straight losses), but points out that they have regained momentum, which puts them in a strong position to secure a playoff spot and maybe even avoid the play-in tournament.
