The Knicks’ Biggest Postseason Obstacle Will Be Finishing Games
Column - April 14, 2021
There is a different New York Knicks team hanging around the Eastern Conference this season.
As the NBA heads into the final weeks of the regular season, the Knicks’ goal is to win games with the prospects of making the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons. They are on track to participate by currently sitting in the eighth seed but would probably prefer to get into the top six seeds to avoid the play-in and a first-round visit with the Nets or Sixers. Learning how to close out games on the winning side is crucial if they want to accomplish either.
The Knicks will have to depend on key players to make shots when it counts in order to reach the postseason and succeed in it.
