Matched up with the LA Clippers on Sunday, back-to-back wins weren’t in the cards for the New York Knicks, as they dropped this one, 129-115.
Clippers 129, Knicks 115: Postgame Live
The Knicks played one of the best teams in the NBA and held their own until a late rally by the Clippers put them away. But huge performances by Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and Immanuel Quickley paint a rosy picture of the future for the Knicks.
Game Day: Knicks vs. Clippers, 1/31/21
The Knicks are riding the high of an Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett-led win over the Cavs into an afternoon matchup with the Clippers at home. Unfortunately, the Clips are winners of 9 of their last 10. Can the Knicks overcome their vastly superior opponent?
Knicks 102, Cavs 81: This guy is uncanny

Game Day: Knicks vs. Cavaliers, 1/29/21
The Knicks face… the Cavs? Again? Really? OK. They face the Cavs at home tonight in their return to Madison Square Garden from the west coast trip, the fifth time this season including the preseason. Will Thibs make sure Knicks-Cavs V stands out from the crowd with some changes?
56 Elfrid Payton-themed conspiracy theories
After tonight’s game, Elfrid Payton will share a very important statistical benchmark with some other maligned former Knicks point guards. Could tonight be Elf’s apocalypse as the Knicks’ starting point guard?
Jazz 108, Knicks 94: It was fun while it lasted
Austin Rivers had 25 in one half, RJ Barrett continued his string of good play, the Knicks led by 15 at one point… and yet, they still lost by 14 after some costly strategic and play style errors in the second half.

Austin Rivers went bonkers in the first half, but the Knicks went icy in the second. The Knicks end their road trip with a 1-3 record headed back to the Garden on Friday.
Game Day: Knicks @ Jazz, 1/26/21
The Knicks are on a two-game skid to end their road trip in Utah… against the hottest team in the NBA. In fact, the last time the Jazz lost was to the Knicks. Can New York make it a clean sweep over Utah?
Blazers 116, Knicks 113: Too much Payton, not enough Quickley
The Knicks fell in a big hole to start the game in Portland, and it looked like blowout city early on. Despite Immanuel Quickley’s best efforts to lead a comeback, New York fell to a shorthanded Portland Trail Blazers team on Sunday night, 116-113.
Blazers 116, Knicks 113: Postgame Live
It looked like the Knicks were going to get blown out… then Immanuel Quickley happened. The rook went for 31 points in 24 minutes, and the Knicks’ losing streak went to three games in the most pleasing way possible.
Game Day: Knicks @ Blazers, 1/24/21
The Knicks continue their west coast trip with a foray in Portland. The Blazers are hurtin’, but they still have Damian Lillard. Can New York do enough to get the W and get back to .500?
Kings 103, Knicks 94: I didn’t miss this feeling
A four-game win streak for the New York Knicks wasn’t meant to be. They dropped Friday night’s matchup with the Sacramento Kings, 103-94.

The Knicks came out beyond flat in the second game of their west coast trip, getting beaten up on by a struggling Kings team. Everybody stunk except for RJ, Randle, and Mitch.
Game Day: Knicks @ Kings, 1/22/21
The Knicks travel to Sacramento to continue their west coast trip and attempt to continue their three-game win streak. The Kings are very bad at defense. The Knicks are very good at defense (or are they?? Depending on what egghead you ask). Could the Knicks have their first four-game streak of the year on tap?
Knicks 119, Warriors 104: Can you dig it?!
The Knicks went to Golden State riding a two-game win streak, and left with their second three-game streak of the young season. Catch up on RJ Barrett’s career night, Julius Randle’s near-triple-double, and more with Matthew Miranda.
Knicks 119, Warriors 104: Postgame Live
The Knicks started their west coast trip with a rousing late-night rout of the Warriors, behind a new career high in points for RJ Barrett and team-wide stifling defense. The Knicks are now on a three-game win streak and back to .500.
Game Day: Knicks @ Warriors, 1/21/21
The Knicks roll into Golden State to start their four-game west coast road trip. Can they contain the red-hot Steph Curry, or will he finally be the one to punish the Knicks from deep?
Could retaining Julius Randle long-term be one of the first big “culture” moves for the Knicks?
Julius Randle’s value has never been higher, as he’s playing the best ball of his career. It’s for that exact reason that the Knicks shouldn’t entertain moving him, and instead build with their resurgent star.
