The Knicks have been finding stability in December, boasting a 7-2 record, while their defensive improvement has played a crucial role in their recent successes.
While the offense has taken a step back, the Knicks have improved their defensive rating significantly, now sitting at 104.2, which ranks fourth in the league.
The revival of Mikal Bridges has provided the Knicks with a vital third scoring option, averaging 21.7 PPG in December and easing the burden on Brunson and Towns.
Their recent wins against undermanned teams demonstrate the Knicks' ability to handle business and avoid consistently playing down to the level of their competition.
