Photo by Elsa/Getty Images Bleed the block! Hot off the heels of Sabrina Ionescu drilling a game winner to help celebrate the open of the WNBA’s 25th season, the New York faithful laid down some of the most vociferous MVP chants of the NBA season for Julius Randle. How utterly astounding has this turnaround been? The Knicks notched their 40th win of the season and when Julius keeps...

Pool Photo-USA TODAY Sports Julius Randle was quite good. The New York Knicks have reached the 40-win mark for the first time since 2012-13 — a feat made doubly impressive by the fact that this season only has 72 games — with Saturday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets . But it wasn’t easy. The Knicks looked primed to run away with this one a couple of times early, but Charlotte...

Photo by Layne Murdoch/NBAE via Getty Images Almost outta here. Knicks got to get up and go today. Quick and the dead out on the courts this weekend. There’s a six game aperitif and then the league has a swashbuckling Sunday with all 30 teams playing and a lot of jostling up and down the seeds.

The next-man-up Knicks were down a man but rose up to take down another foe last night, besting the San Antonio Spurs 102-98 at Madison Square Garden. A ragged affair early become a barnburner late, with the second half a tale of two halves. Each quarter brought a new New York savior...

POOL PHOTOS-USA TODAY Sports Buckets were gotten. The New York Knicks might not reach the fourth seed — the Hawks and Heat still have the upper hand if they both win out — but it won’t be for lack of trying. The Knicks trailed the San Antonio Spurs by 17 points in the third quarter following yet another Elfrid Payton crap-a-thon, but these Knicks don’t quit. Tom Thibodeau...

All hail Patrick Ewing. | Photo by Fernando Medina/NBAE via Getty Images Shaq’s love for the Big Fella is beautiful. Shaquille O’Neal is among the most dominant big men to ever play professional basketball, but what you might not realize is that young Shaq idolized none other than Patrick Ewing, even wearing number 33 in high school and college because of the legendary Knicks ’...

Sure, it would have been nice if the Knicks clinched their first postseason berth in seven years against the Lakers in Los Angeles, but in the end it’s probably okay that New York lost a nail-biter.

Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports So close, yet no buckets. I beg your forgiveness, friends: The SB Nation network was down last night, and I fell asleep before it came back online. Benny will have your recap later. Until then, let’s just use this as a thread for venting about last night’s crushing 101-99 loss to the Lakers . Try not to get too down, however. The Knicks are...

Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Get it. The magic number is two. Over the next four games, the Knicks either need a pair of wins or they’ll need one win and one Celtics loss to clinch a spot in the playoffs. With Jaylen Brown now officially out for the remainder of the season, New York’s chances have gone up. They’ll still need to handle their business,...
