In their latest game against Oklahoma City Thunder, the Knicks narrowly missed victory with a one-point deficit, finishing at 112 points. Despite this loss, they demonstrated an ability to draw fouls and capitalize on second-chance opportunities, scoring 28 second-chance points. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood firm at 2.4, indicating a relatively stable ball-handling performance.


However, it was during their encounter with the San Antonio Spurs that the Knicks' defense seemed more porous than usual. They allowed 130 points in an overtime thriller but managed to keep up offensively by putting up 126 points themselves. The team's three-point shooting hovered around a solid 38 percent.

The most impressive display came against the Toronto Raptors when New York dominated by scoring an overwhelming 145 points while maintaining control throughout and leading for over 47 minutes of game time. Their efficiency was through the roof with an effective field goal percentage of a staggering 70 percent and true shooting percentage reaching an impressive 72 percent.


While these numbers reflect a strong offensive unit capable of high-scoring performances, defensive consistency will be crucial when facing Milwaukee's formidable lineup. The upcoming game promises to be an exciting clash as both teams bring their unique strengths onto the court.
