Possibly, my favorite win of the year. That was fun. That was something that gets me excited. The Knicks pummeled Orlando at The Garden last night to improve to 4-0 in the NBA Cup, advancing to the quarterfinal game now. The Knick wings stood out defensively, as did Towns. We talk some offense too, as the Knicks were able to make an elite switching defense look silly.

Trivia: Who are the three Knicks to win Sixth Man of the Year, and in what years?
