The New York Knicks have shown considerable prowess on the court in their recent games. With a commanding victory over the Pistons, where they scored 128 points and demonstrated a robust defense by limiting their opponents to just 98 points, the team's confidence is sky-high. Their offensive efficiency was particularly notable, with a true shooting percentage of 61 percent and an impressive three-point shooting percentage of 47 percent. Additionally, their ability to capitalize on turnovers—scoring 30 points off turnovers—highlights their aggressive defensive play.

This loss showcased areas for improvement, especially in managing turnovers and maximizing scoring opportunities from fast breaks.
