Credit the New York Knicks. After perhaps their worst loss of the season, in which they simply could not stop the Washington Wizards onslaught (for some reason), the argument could be made that the Knicks put together their best performance of the season.
New York topped the Atlanta Hawks without Joakim Noah Sunday. When the Knicks needed a nice, signature win the most, they came through. Still, even with a nice notch on their belt, I find it hard to believe that this Knicks team is anything more than a .500 ball club. Maybe they can muster together 45 wins, but even that’s pushing it.
