The New York Knicks made franchise history with dominant performances over their last three games. New York’s 408 points are the most in a three-game stretch in franchise history. They scored 143 points against the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies before scoring 122 points last night against the Denver Nuggets.
The Knicks have used a committee-like approach on offense to make franchise history with a different leading scorer in each contest. New York is the hottest team in the National Basketball Association as they are winners of five straight games. Will the New York Knicks keep up their high level of play?

New York’s winning streak has catapulted them to the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. New York’s offense has been one of the league’s best this season, and their recent performances reinforced that. They are fourth in points per game, third in field goal percentage, and fifth in three-point percentage. Point Guard Jalen Brunson and Center Karl-Anthony Towns have been the driving forces behind New York’s success as they were both named NBA All-Stars last week.
New York’s defense has not been as strong as their offense this season. They are 18th in opposing field goal percentage and last in opposing three-point percentage. Even with a defense that has struggled at times this season, the New York Knicks have the fifth-best point differential in the league.
Final Thoughts
The New York Knicks continue their five-game homestand when LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers come to town on Saturday evening. New York hosts the Houston Rockets on Monday to close out their homestand. The Knicks look to keep up their torrid offensive pace as they look to continue climbing up the standings.
New York is looking to build upon back-to-back trips to the Eastern Conference Semifinals. With one of the league’s best offenses, the New York Knicks will be a team no one is looking forward to facing come playoff time.
