Game Day: Knicks vs. Kings, 2/25/21
The Knicks look to get redemption on the Kings from their road trip loss to Sacramento a few weeks ago. Who will take the place of the injured Elfrid Payton tonight? And who will soak up backup minutes?
Tom Thibodeau, Immanuel Quickley, and the realities of an inevitable point guard exorcism
The time to start Immanuel Quickley isn’t in the future — it’s now. IQ’s best minutes come with the starters, and some of the team’s worst minutes come with Quickley mixed in with the bench. Jack Huntley lays out the matter-of-fact case for exorcising Elfrid sooner than later.
Bulls 110, Knicks 102: KYP: Know Your Personnel
The Knicks came into Chicago on the second game of a back-to-back and played sluggish on their way to a 110-102 loss to the Bulls, but the rotations from head coach Tom Thibodeau are also becoming more concerning by the day. Could a few adjustments have helped the Knicks sneak a win?
Knicks 102, Cavs 81: This guy is uncanny
The Knicks returned home reeling from their west coast trip, but came out strong against a familiar Cavs team. Then Immanuel Quickley happened, as the rookie took over yet another game and sealed a huge win for the Knicks at MSG.
Knicks 102, Cavaliers 81: Postgame Live
The Knicks returned home from the west coast to the best coast, and defended home court against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Immanuel Quickley once again took over for the Knicks, RJ Barrett played big, and the Knicks got a 102-81 victory to snap their three-game skid.
Jazz 108, Knicks 94: It was fun while it lasted
Austin Rivers had 25 in one half, RJ Barrett continued his string of good play, the Knicks led by 15 at one point… and yet, they still lost by 14 after some costly strategic and play style errors in the second half.

Austin Rivers went bonkers in the first half, but the Knicks went icy in the second. The Knicks end their road trip with a 1-3 record headed back to the Garden on Friday.
Game Day: Knicks @ Jazz, 1/26/21
The Knicks are on a two-game skid to end their road trip in Utah… against the hottest team in the NBA. In fact, the last time the Jazz lost was to the Knicks. Can New York make it a clean sweep over Utah?
Game Day: Knicks @ Kings, 1/22/21
The Knicks travel to Sacramento to continue their west coast trip and attempt to continue their three-game win streak. The Kings are very bad at defense. The Knicks are very good at defense (or are they?? Depending on what egghead you ask). Could the Knicks have their first four-game streak of the year on tap?

Thunder 101, Knicks 89: Postgame Live

Game Day: Thunder @ Knicks, 1/8/21
The Thunder visit the Knicks tonight, a team that the Knicks were supposed to be in the cellar with. Instead, the Knicks are thriving and favored to beat the OKC Future Draft Considerations. Can New York take care of business at home?
Knicks 112, Jazz 100: “Are we all dreaming?”
Knicks-Jazz turned into the Austin Rivers Show on Wednesday night, with Rivers pouring in 14 straight points to seal the game for the Knicks down the stretch. Matthew Miranda relives the night, and grapples with the notion that… the Knicks might actually be good?
