Ugly wins are still wins. Just ask the New York Knicks.
It took until the fourth quarter, but the Knicks improved to 9-7 against the Houston Rockets. Coming into the game, Houston had just one win and lost 13 straight.
Then, the Rockets led New York 21-13 after the first quarter because, once again, the Knicks had no offensive flow. Even after rallying to tie at halftime, New York’s struggles were visible against the worst team in the league.
It was a long and bumpy road but thanks to the bench’s heroics, the New York Knicks pulled off a 106-99 win.
