Latest news and updates about the Knicks
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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]
The Knicks (38*-22) host the San Antonio Spurs (43-16) for lunch at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. This will be a significant test for New York against the Western Conference’s second seed. The Knicks have won six of their last ten games, while the Spurs have won 11 straight. The teams met most recently on […]
When I first started following the Knicks in 1991, they had three epic losing streaks going on. They hadn’t won in Boston, Chicago or Cleveland for years. Not two or three seasons — the better part of a decade. You don’t forget bullying. Skin remembers. Bones, too. Pro’ly why to this day I’ve at some […]
In case everything collapses in May, the Knicks showed Giannis what New York’s about on Friday.

The Knicks step into a brutal, spotlight-heavy week that runs through a perennial power, a division spoiler, and two Western contenders chasing banners.

The Milwaukee Bucks finished their four-game home stand with a stinker, losing in blowout fashion to the New York Knicks 127-98.

Tonight at the Fiserv Forum, the visiting Knicks (38*-22) took on the suddenly hot Bucks (26-32), which we never saw coming given their gawky adolescent phase. Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Deer had won eight of ten and clipped some of the league’s best along the way. Conversely, the unpredictable Knicks had alternated between world-beaters and […]
The Knicks (37*-22) visit the Bucks (26-31) tonight at Fiserv Forum with a chance to take the season series after splitting the first two meetings.
