New York Knicks: News Articles
NY Times (Marc Stein) —
Behind Julius Randle, the Knicks have become one of the N.B.A.’s most surprising — and best defensive — teams. Kristaps Porzingis, who?

All you had to do was look around Madison Square Garden and it was obvious your ears were lying to you, had to be. On a good night, in normal times, they can squeeze 19,812 inside here, and when you give them a good reason, they can turn your eardrums to dust. Around 17,812 of...
NY Daily News (Kristian Winfield) —
Yes, the Hornets play an aggressive brand of defense, but they give up more three-point takes and makes than any other team. The Knicks rained threes, then rained in some more in an all-out barrage for their seventh straight win in a 109-97 victory over the Hornets on Tuesday.
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Seven more assists for Julius Randle. Eleven more 3-pointers combined from backcourt men RJ Barrett and Reggie Bullock. Countless more hustle pays by the nasty center tandem of Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson. And another second-half defensive gem by the Knicks, holding the Hornets to 31 points. It all rolled out to a Lucky 7...

The Eastern Conference Player of the Week Award came to Julius Randle on Monday. That followed his first All-Star berth in March. And more honors are pouring his way.

It had been over three years since a Knick won Player of the Week.
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Knicks center Nerlens Noel doesn’t even want to know the format of the NBA’s experimental play-in tournament that puts the Nos. 7 through 10 seeds in a multi-game setup to qualify for the actual playoffs. Not when the Knicks are on a six-game winning streak, playing their best basketball since the late 2013-14 playoff run...
NY Post (Peter Botte) —
Derrick Rose rightly garnered much of the credit for his drive and kick-out pass that led to the Knicks tying Sunday’s eventual win over New Orleans at the end of regulation. Reggie Bullock deserves props, too, for being in the right spot in the left corner and for his catch-and-shoot 3-pointer with 2.3 seconds remaining...

The Knicks are riding their first six-game winning streak since an eight-game run in 2014, suddenly putting them in a better position to potentially avoid the play-in scenarios for the NBA playoffs.

They deplore hubris....
