Latest news and updates about the Knicks
The Toronto Raptors, by just about any measure, are enjoying a highly successful season. At 35-26, they’ve surpassed all reasonable expectations for a team that picked up just 30 wins last year. They have two All-Stars, and are well on their way to a playoff appearance. And yet, Tuesday’s loss to the New York Knicks […]
If that was a Finals preview, I can only hope they started yesterday. The Knicks played tough and gave OKC fits on Wednesday—with Mitch Robinson load-managing—and showed what they can do when they put on their competitive suit. Here is the latest quoteboard. Mike Brown On liking the team’s competitive spirit vs. OKC: “I liked […]
The New York Knicks (40*-23) hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder (44-19) at Madison Square Garden tonight in a tight, uneven game played with tired legs. Both teams were on the second night of back-to-backs, and the fatigue showed at the end of this workout. The Thunder controlled the first half behind Chet Holmgren’s hot shooting, […]
The New York Knicks (40*-22) host the Oklahoma City Thunder (48–15) tonight at MSG, with both teams playing the second night of a back-to-back after wins. This marks the first meeting of the season between OKC, who hold the league’s best record, and the Knickerbockers. Tip-off is 7 PM on MSG and ESPN. This is […]

The Knicks decided they’d rather beat the in-conference Raptors than gamble on a win over the Thunder. Coach Brown used Mitch against Toronto, keeping him under wraps for the what-if matchup against the reigning champions. As KAT said, “Count your eggs.” Mike Brown On hanging defensively in a low-scoring third quarter against Toronto: “We came […]
The New York Knicks (40*-22) host the Oklahoma City Thunder (48–15) tonight at Madison Square Garden, both on the second night of back-to-backs. Yesterday in Toronto, the Knicks fought the Raptors to the end for victory, while the Thunder beat the Bulls in Chicago. Both teams have won three in a row. They last met […]
When Mike Brown was hired as the new honcho in July, it was abundantly clear that the Knicks would fundamentally change their offensive identity. And while the team has been pretty similar to last season in terms of offensive rating, efficiency, and their overall standing in the league, there’s one thing that’s been different: three-point […]
As of tonight, the Toronto Raptors have officially lost their twelfth consecutive game to the New York Knicks, continuing a disheartening pattern begun in 2023. Brandon Ingram’s 31 wasn’t enough to outscore the top dogs of the Atlantic Division, as the Knicks hammered Toronto for a 111-95 loss. It’s fitting for New York to have […]
Like numbers? Check these out. Tonight the Knicks (40*-22) outshot the Raptors (35-26) 56% to 45%, piled up 32 assists on 46 baskets, and dominated the glass 44–28. This marked their third consecutive game with all five starters scoring in double figures, and the 11th time in their last 19 games they’ve held an opponent […]
The Knicks (39*-22) head to Toronto to face the Raptors (35-25) in a matchup of top-five East teams. The Raptors defend well (seventh in defensive rating) but are middling offensively, led by Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes, with guest appearances by our old friends, Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett. New York has defeated Toronto 11 […]
It took two games for Jose Alvarado to win the hearts of New Yorkers after the trade deadline. Honestly, Jose had our hearts a long time before that, and it was only a matter of time until he put on a Knicks uniform. But still: the moment had arrived. Finally, after years of Alvarado to […]
Don’t fear, Canadian friends! The Knicks (39*-22) are in your country to face the Raptors (35-25), not to start a war. Unless they lose. Then maybe Canada becomes an existential threat. This tilt features two top-five Eastern Conference teams, with New York third and Toronto fifth. Both have won six of their last 10 games. […]
The Knicks just couldn’t beat good teams last year. This isn’t new information; it was highly publicized that the Knicks went 0-10 against the league’s three 60-win teams in the regular season. Did they change the narrative come playoff time when they miraculously knocked off the defending champions? Sure, but detractors pointed to that record […]
Mmm. Yep. That’ll do it. Consider me humbled, basketball gods. You built me up and struck me down just like the old stories promised you would. Beautiful work. No notes. It’s an awfully nasty beat to get pantsed on national television like that, especially on the heels of a week filled with noise from every […]
Will the Knicks go 16-0 in the playoffs? Maybe. Will the Knicks crash out in the first round? Equally probable. Turns out these are your Knickerbockers today. Black or white, white or black. Mike Brown On taking the schedule one game at a time amid a tough stretch: “You know the schedule better than me. […]
The San Antonio Spurs came into Sunday’s matchup with the New York Knicks riding a high. They have been playing well on an 11-game winning streak, chasing the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top seed in the Western Conference. That streak came to a screeching halt, as the Knicks held San Antonio to less than […]
This was a nice moment captured before the Knicks hosted the Spurs at Madison Square Garden. Victor Wembanyama stepped over to Jeremy Sochan during the pregame shoot around. They shared in a warm embrace before Devin Vassell joined in. After the game, Kelly Olynyk and Sochan shared a moment as the teams were parting ways. […]
The bright lights of Madison Square Garden have a way of exposing every flaw. On Sunday afternoon, they illuminated one in particular for the San Antonio Spurs: when the offense stalls, everything else can unravel with it. San Antonio opened the game with energy against the New York Knicks, building a double-digit lead behind sharp ball movement and early […]
In a nationally televised broadcast, the Knicks (39*-22) hosted the Spurs (43-17*) for a 1 0’clock matinee today. San Antonio came into the game as the league’s hottest team, having won 11 consecutive games. Would New York be intimidated? They would not. After a low-scoring, poor-shooting first quarter, the Knicks hit the jets. Powered by […]
Jeremy Sochan got revenge and barely had to stand up, as the San Antonio Spurs got humbled and had their 11-game win streak snapped on national TV. It was their first game back at Madison Square Garden since Victor Wembanyama set it on fire in a close, losing effort in last season’s Christmas Day game. Neither […]

Fresh off a rout of Milwaukee, the Knicks (38*-22) host the Spurs (43-16), team riding an 11-game win streak. The teams split their recent meetings: the Knicks fell 134–132 in Texas on New Year’s Eve after beating the Spurs 124–113 in the NBA Cup Final. Tip-off is 1 pm EST on ABC. This is your […]
Just like Willie Nelson, the Spurs are back on the road again, as their partitioned Rodeo Road trip comes to an end. They have only two opponents left before getting a lengthy home-stand, and the New York Knicks are the first team on the docket. Technically, the Spurs are 1-0 versus the Knickerbockers, but remembering […]
