Knicks have gone 11-4 since their 3-6 start to move up the Eastern standings into a tie for 3rd with CHA, just ahead of BOS and CHI.
Their team defense has gotten better since Rambis was assigned to be in charge of that aspect, tonight Porzingis dominated the interior on D, a career-high tying 7 blocks and he easily could have been credited with a handful more. Hornacek has done a very nice job so far, tonight winning without O'Quinn, who has been one of their best players recently, and the previous game winning without the somewhat resurgent Derrick Rose. Rose and Brandon Jennings combined for 44 from the point tonight on 17-27 shooting (they did play together at times, to be fair, 57 minutes combined).
