"A win will put the Knicks in a virtual tie with Boston for second place in the Eastern Conference. Brown is correct, that it would put the Knicks at 48-25 and Boston at 47-24, so Boston would still have a slight percentage points edge."
"It might have seemed unlikely with the way Boston has played this season and then getting Jayson Tatum back. They won the first two games after he returned from a torn Achilles suffered against the Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, but have gone just 4-3 since and have seemed out of sorts."
"The Knicks carried a seven-game winning streak into Tuesday's game, not exactly looking locked in during that span, but doing the work they had to do in a stretch of games against lottery-bound opponents."
Mike Brown emphasizes focusing on immediate tasks as the Knicks approach the end of the season. With a win, the Knicks could tie with Boston for second place in the Eastern Conference. Brown acknowledges the importance of tiebreakers and the need for Boston to lose another game for the Knicks to secure second place. Despite Boston's recent struggles, the Knicks are on a seven-game winning streak, positioning themselves favorably as they face weaker opponents.
