After stumbling out of the gates and starting out the season with a 2-4 record, the Knicks have taken advantage of a softer portion of the schedule by going 6-1 in their last seven games to catapult themselves into a three-way tie for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
A road win tonight would push their current winning streak to four but they’ll have a very tough test awaiting them. The Timberwolves, who currently hold the third-best winning percentage in the league behind just the Celtics and Sixers, are currently undefeated in their five home games and will put up way more resistance than the Wizards and Hornets did in the Knicks’ last two games.
