Another game gets too close for comfort, but a winning shot by Brunson, a buzzer-block by Bridges, and big contributions from the bench carries NY over Cam Thomas and the Nets. Eternally shorthanded, the New York Knicks (6-6) began their second game of Emirates NBA Cup play strong, staying ahead of the Brooklyn Nets (5-8) for much of the game. Yet again, the fourth quarter was another...

For many, childhood memories of shooting hoops in the driveway often involve a family member watching on, offering tips and encouragement. It was no different for Kiki, except in his case, the adult giving him tips happened to be the late, great Jerry West. “Through my dad, [who at the time was the Lakers team physician], I got very close with Jerry West and Elgin Baylor,” Kiki reminisced....

Somewhat disappointing Knicks team takes on somewhat better-than-expected Nets team Many of these previews, especially the ones I’ve written, are starting to sound like a broken record. The Knicks have had an inconsistent season, showing us glimmers of hope and potential while also being marred by clear weaknesses and disappointments. There are games where they look like they’re on the...

The Knicks welcome Brooklyn to the real New York and Mikal Bridges has words about it.

Today, New York will host the Brooklyn Nets in the first matchup between the neighbor franchises, which will also mark Mikal Bridges'...

Inside the Knicks’ depth issues and financial limits in advance of trade season. Recently, Kevin Pelton, Bobby Marks, and other ESPN NBA insiders examined six contenders —the Knicks , Lakers , Bucks, Heat, Pelicans, and 76ers —to assess their weaknesses and explore trade season options.

New York missed the only shot that mattered but fought hellaciously valiantly. The New York Knicks suffered a heartbreaking 124-123 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, the day the Manhattanites opened a four-game homestand. The Knicks, after rallying from a 22-point deficit, saw it all slip away due to a late foul by Josh Hart—who brushed Coby White’s afro—and a last-second miss by...

New York hosted the Bulls and they couldn’t have been closer to getting a dub in their bag—twice. One less bounce, and we would have drunk champagne. No luck, though, as the rim had other plans. The Knicks returned to MSG to start a four-game homestand, but they couldn’t go to sleep with a dub in their collective bag. Chicago avoided a catastrophic loss after leading by 22 points on ...

After nearly forfeiting early in the third quarter, KAT leads a 20+ comeback only to lose on a ticky-tack foul. For a decade, you heard Karl-Anthony Towns was soft. Well, not as a New York Knick (5-6), baby. Tonight’s game against the Chicago Bulls (5-7) was a perfect example. Play after play, Karl kept swinging when it counted. He banged his neck on the stanchion and shook it off; he...

10 down, 72 to go. Feels like the Knicks have been trading triumphant wins over Eastern Conference rivals (Indiana, Miami, Milwaukee, Philadelphia) with bone-crushing fourth-quarter collapses against teams they should beat (Houston, Atlanta, most recent Indiana game). That’s how you get to a tumultuous 5-5, baby! A lot has been discussed ( usually after the losses ) about the heavy...

There's a lot to like, a lot to dislike... but most importantly progress in the right direction. Just 10 games into the regular season, the New York Knicks have been an amalgamation of many things ranging from great to ugly, bad, good, hopeful, hopeless, and everything in between. Here are some of the things that have stuck out the most through those 10 games. 1. KAT has been even...

Beating the lowly Bucks didn’t make up for the losses against the Hawks and the Pacers. If there is something, anything, defining the Knicks season to date is that it’s been a true rollercoaster. The team has played 10 games (nine through Monday) and it has yet to string either three consecutive wins or losses. Only twice, in fact, have the Knicks lost or won two games in back-to-back...
