The New York Knicks secured an overtime victory despite being short-handed, showcasing unexpected depth. Miles McBride delivered a standout performance, scoring a season-high 23 points and helping shift momentum, particularly with his defensive efforts. The team, under Tom Thibodeau, managed to execute effective strategies defensively, including timely rotations that stifled the Chicago Bulls’ offense. Mitchell Robinson is on the verge of returning post-injury, which could further bolster the Knicks. Upcoming games against Cleveland and Boston present critical opportunities for the Knicks to assert themselves against top contenders in the East, especially after struggling against these teams earlier in the season.
