Bulls 119, Knicks 115: Appreciate your position, plan your promotion

Nets 112, Knicks 110: You either put the fire out, or you don’t
The Knicks traveled very slightly east to face off against the conference-leading Nets in a New York showdown. The new-look starting lineup showed out and ultimately came up just short.
Knicks 99, Hawks 90: Best win in a long time
Returning to the site of last year’s postseason failures, the Knicks put together a strong full 48 minutes of basketball against the Hawks team that bested them last season in the playoffs.
Suns 118, Knicks 97: Dust in the wind
The Knicks lost a laugher at home to the hottest team in the NBA. The real question: is this a building block, or a sign of things to come?
Knicks 106, Lakers 100: More things in heaven and earth
The Knicks got out big, almost gave it up, but pulled through to defend home court against the LeBron-less Lakers, 106-100.
Bulls 109, Knicks 103: “Can’t be the game plan to leave Coby all alone in the corner”
The Knicks couldn’t pull out the second game of a road back-to-back in Chicago, but there were some signs of encouragement (along with some signs of discouragement).
Knicks 106, Rockets 99: The moon became as blood
The Knicks seemed primed to potentially lose to another cellar-dweller at home, but an Alec Burks explosion in the fourth let New York escape with a win over the lowly Rockets.
Magic 104, Knicks 98: “Tom Thibodeau isn’t worried about the Rockets, Bulls, or Lakers — he has his hands full with the Magic”
After taking one step forward vs. the Pacers on Monday, the Knicks took two steps back vs. the lowly Magic, dropping yet another home game to Orlando and falling to 1-2 against one of the league’s worst teams.
Knicks 92, Pacers 84: “What’d you expect?”
The Knicks faced a gut check in one of their biggest early-season tests and passed, holding the Pacers to 10 points in the fourth quarter en route to a gutsy 92-84 win.
Hornets 104, Knicks 96: “A bunch of bullshit”
Kemba Walker exploded early, but the starters once again faltered late, offering the Hornets a chance to come back at home that they gladly took on their way to a win over the Knicks.

Despite a furious rally from the Knicks reserves, the hole dug by the listless starters and the barrage of threes from the world champions proved too much to overcome.
Knicks 103, 76ers 96: “A step forward”
The New York Knicks are three games above .500 following their latest 106-99 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
Cavaliers 126, Knicks 109: A tetrad
The Knicks dropped their third game of their last four to a revitalized Cavs team chock full of young talent, with a Ricky Rubio career night dooming New York to a 126-109 destruction.
Knicks 113, Bucks 98: Schrödinger’s W
In almost an identical early-game situation to their loss against Indiana on Wednesday, the Knicks flipped the script against the Bucks, staging a historically large comeback en route to beating the defending champs on the road.
Pacers 111, Knicks 98: Schrödinger’s L
Much like Schrödinger’s poor cat, Wednesday’s Knicks loss to the Pacers could have gone one of two ways. Regrettably, it went the way of the L rather than the W, and the Knicks found their first losing streak of 2021-22.
Raptors 113, Knicks 103: “I think they just played harder than us, honestly”
The Knicks took their foot off the gas yet again after a hot start to a game, and this time it burned them at home against a feisty Raptors team missing their two best players.
Knicks 123, Pelicans 117: “Barrett heroic now”
The Knicks held in there against a depleted Pelicans team, securing a win on the road to push their record to 5-1 behind a career high scoring night for RJ Barrett.
Knicks 104, Bulls 103: “I was 32 years old at the start of this game. I am now 354 years old.”
Late game execution almost doomed the Knicks after it looked like they were going to cruise to a win over the Chicago Bulls, but they held on for a one-point win over the previously-undefeated Chicago on the road.
Knicks 112, 76ers 99: “I too want to win!”
Kemba Walker finally found his groove as Kemba Walker, and the Knicks broke a nearly half-decade long streak of losses to the division rival Sixers at Madison Square Garden.
