Knicks' Recent Performance


The Knicks have been on a rollercoaster ride in recent games, showcasing both strengths and areas for improvement. Their offensive prowess was evident when they scored 118 points against the Pistons in Game 3.

Limiting turnovers will be crucial as it allows them more opportunities to score while preventing easy points off turnovers for Detroit. Additionally, capitalizing on fast-break chances can provide an edge over their opponents.
