The Knicks lost a one-possession game in overtime to the defending NBA Champion Lakers. This season has been a much better outcome than anyone could have imagined, so it begs the question: Why did this loss hurt so bad?

The New York Knicks snapped out of back-to-back losses in a big way on Sunday, holding off Kawhi Leonard and the LA Clippers, 106-100. 

The Knicks dropped their second straight game in embarrassing fashion, blowing a double-digit lead and tanking the fourth quarter in the Valley of the Sun on the 51st anniversary of the Knicks’ first championship.

The New York Knicks’ three-game winning streak came to an end on Wednesday night, and in humiliating fashion, in their 113-97 loss to the Denver Nuggets. 

The New York Knicks are streaking once again, now winners of three straight after beating the Memphis Grizzlies on the road on Monday night, 118-104. 

The Knicks did what they had to do to start their road trip — they beat a bad Houston team. Julius Randle treated it like a routine affair, some Knicks actually got some fourth quarter garbage time minutes, and New York got its tune-up for the other five difficult games on this road swing.

The New York Knicks secured their 10th win in 11 games on Wednesday night, with their 113-94 victory over the Zach LaVine-less Chicago Bulls. 

The Knicks hung in there with Phoenix at home, looking for a 10th straight win. But the Suns are just a little further along in their journey to redemption, in large part because of Chris Paul, who put New York away in the closing minutes of a 118-108 loss.

The Knicks have now won nine straight games, this time beating a Raptors team that usually gives them fits handily at home on the Madison Square Garden floor, 120-103.

The New York Knicks’ win streak extended to eight games, after they managed a 137-127 overtime win over the Atlanta Hawks. 

The red-hot Knicks are now winners of seven straight games, after RJ Barrett erupted in the third quarter to lead the charge.

The New York Knicks refuse to disappoint on the biggest stages, this time putting down Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans 122-112 in overtime in Sunday’s matinee matchup.

The Knicks extended their win streak to five games — their best streak in seven years — behind a 44-point herculean effort by Julius Randle and key contributions from RJ Barrett and Derrick Rose, besting the Mavericks, 117-109.

The Knicks earned their first four-game win streak of the season behind a magnificent second half for Alec Burks and a second straight 30-point game from Julius Randle to down the Pelicans on the road.

The Knicks faced a team led by LeBron James, though LeBron himself did not suit up for this one. Still, the stark contrast of where the Knicks are now vs. where they were once upon a time when Bron mocked them on their home floor was stark, as the Knicks wiped up the shorthanded Lakers, 112-96.

The Knicks took an 18-point lead over the Raptors early in this game, only to cough it up and need to scratch out a win late. And who else to bring the Knicks a home win than RJ Barrett, the Knicks’ clutch king of late?

Last night’s game felt like it was going to be a loss, based off recent history. It had to be, right? But then the Knicks won, behind a huge night for the bench and a huge stretch run for RJ Barrett.

The Knicks had yet another winnable game slip from their grasp thanks to questionable decisions and play down the stretch. But this loss to the Celtics wasn’t without an RJ Barrett-shaped silver lining.

The New York Knicks allowed the Brooklyn Nets to complete the season series sweep on Monday, in a 114-112 loss.

The Knicks’ three-game losing streak is dead, and in a big way — they annihilated the Pistons on Detroit’s own home floor, behind a masterful Julius Randle and Reggie Bullock performance.
