The Knicks were close at halftime last night, 46-43, but lost to the best team in the NBA, the Dallas Mavericks, 92-77, at the Garden last night.
All things considered, the Knicks are now 30-37 and only 0.5 games out of the eighth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference behind Orlando (31-37). Indiana is percentage points in between both teams at 30-36.
The Knicks do control their destiny to a certain extent with a game at the Garden against Orlando on Monday, March 26. That game could well be a key tie breaker as we go down the stretch to the playoffs. The Knicks do have tough road games including Cleveland and Dallas, Friday, March 23 and 30, respectively.
It's time for Isiah to reward Mr. Nolan for his trust in extending his contract last week instead of waiting until after the season. We'll find out what he and the Knicks do down the stretch.
