And that is all for the first three quarters of the season. The Knicks wrapped up their pre-break portion by stealing the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference after a win in Atlanta last night. I must say I was very impressed with their defense which was my biggest concern going up against the Hawks. But they shut it down. We break down the defense, go over the offensive concerns, shower Brunson with more praise, talk some more Thibodeau, discuss the bench unit's revival, and more.

Last night, the Knicks took down the Nets and regained bragging rights. The defense was a tale of two halves, but they really did a nice job locking down late. Of course, the story of the night came on the offensive side, where the 'Nova duo combined for 67 points. Let's talk about it.

Josh Hart made his Knicks debut and really impressed in the win over Utah. He brought the Knicks great intangibles, as well as the rest of the second unit. The Knicks played well offensively and got key contributions from a lot of guys down the stretch in both lineups. I liked what Thibs did with the rotation, too, in this one. The Knicks also struggled defensively. We get to it all.

The Knicks lost to the Sixers tonight for the first time this year. It was a game I expected to lose as it's difficult to defeat a team three straight times, let alone an elite one. The Knicks ran slow offense, didn't execute their scheme defensively, and I didn't love one of Thibs' fourth quarter decisions. We also review the Josh Hart trade in this one.

For their second win in a row, the Knicks took down the Magic in Orlando last night. You can call it a road win but it was another home game in front of thousands of New Yorkers. The team made key baskets down the stretch and moved it around very well late. I also loved what we saw from Thibs as well. He featured guys the Knicks normally don't and made key defensive adjustments late in crunch time. We also go over RJ's problems, talk Quickley's impressive consistency, LeBron passing Kareem, and more.

The Knicks picked up what might have been their biggest and best win of the season last night. They defeated the 76ers despite being down an entire 21 points early on. The second unit came through strong with some great defense, scoring, and ball movement all night.
