The Knicks survived a wild first quarter, then clamped down and held the Raptors to 13 points in the second to take over the game. The wings cleaned everything up in help, KAT did some nice switching and controlled the paint, and the Knicks handled Toronto's defensive coverages pretty well. New York settled in on both ends nicely. Vegas!!

Does this young, talented lefty with ace upside make sense in the BX? We break down MacKenzie Gore, his stuff, pitch mix against both lefties and righties, fastball location and changeup, and how New York’s pitching development could unlock his full potential. Also, a look at possible trade packages and what the Yankees would give up to get controllable MLB talent like Gore.

That was a nice rebound win. Brunson responded, Mikal steady again, Deuce scorching from three, and KAT dominated on every level! We hit on the Giannis chatter and why the idea just isn’t realistic for the Knicks in a couple of ways, then break down how good their pinch post offense looked with KAT as the hub. We also touch on the defensive issues that still popped up despite holding the Hornets to 104 points.

Rough outing in the worst city in the world. There were a few bright spots, mostly in the first half, but Boston really capitalized on the Knicks’ spacing issues on offense and took advantage of some poor pick-and-roll defense. Speaking of, this was not Mike Brown's best game, lineup wise.

Quarterfinals it is. That was a smart and steady approach to beat the Bucks last night, built around the Brunson/Hart short pick-and-roll. The Knicks kept punishing the Bucks hedges by putting Hart in the pocket and letting Brunson read every tag and rotation. Add in Brunson's big third quarter scoring burst and you get a game where the Knicks controlled the pace and the matchup all night. Tune in and enjoy the show!
