The New York Knicks are going through their worst stretch in terms of wins and losses, but this team still gets after it defensively and competes. In fact, the Knicks are losing their last five games by an average of just 2.6 points. The Knicks also just took the Heat down to the wire on Sunday afternoon, losing by just six points. The Miami Heat also have some work to do to prove they’re turning the corner, and it takes more than wins over the Wizards and Knicks to do that. Give me the points.
