The Knicks have climbed out of the bottom 10 on defense, with the winning streak (101.6 points allowed per 100 possessions) being their best stretch on that end of the floor by a wide margin. Of course, all four games (plus their loss to the Pistons) were against teams that rank in the bottom 10 on offense, and much of the improvement was about how poorly those opponents shot from the perimeter.
It's now been a full month and four consecutive weeks for the Knicks climbing up the NBA rankings, at least one position at a time.
