Is seven straight in the cards for the Knicks? They get the injury-plagued and struggling Hornets at home to give it a shot.

Nobody could have predicted that 35-year-old Taj Gibson would be one of the main reasons for the Knicks’ stingy defense this season when he was a late add to the roster in January, yet here we are. Benjy Ritholtz dives deep into Taj’s considerable impact for the Knicks this season.
