1 End of the Road... For Now
Tonight marks the final game of a three-game road trip for the Knicks (0-2 so far).
However, after returning home for Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, they embark on yet another three-game road trip.
The Knicks have struggled on the road this season (2-12) but New Orleans hasn’t been great at home either (9-8).

4 Shoot the 3
Coach Jeff Hornacek says he is trying to ramp up the Knicks’ 3-point shooting, as the team ranks last in the NBA in both 3-point attempts (21.6) and made 3-pointers (7.8).
Tonight could be as good a night as any to start.
The Pelicans allow 11.9 threes per game, tied for most in the league, and in their last two games have allowed 22 and 19.

Ron Baker Does The Little Things
Ron Baker saw the two little boys sitting baseline at a recent Knicks game and he remembered what it was like to be that age, to be starstruck by the stars at Kansas, Kansas State and Wichita State. Baker jogged to the Knicks locker room at The Garden, grabbed a pair of sneakers and socks, […]
