New York Knicks vs Houston Rockets Game Preview:
The Knicks officially clinched a playoff spot last night after Philadelphia’s loss to Miami. They’re currently third in the Eastern Conference, just two games behind the Boston Celtics.
New York struggled earlier this season, going 2-9 from December 31-January 19, but has managed to turn their season around, winning 23 of 30 games from January 21 to March 24.
But the goal for New York isn’t just to make a deep playoff run.
“We want to get to the Finals. And we should win the Finals. This is sports, and anything can happen. But getting to the Finals, we absolutely got to do,” said Knicks owner James Dolan in January.
The Knicks look to bounce back tonight after dropping back-to-back losses against the Hornets and Thunder.
The Rockets are currently sixth in the Western Conference with a 3.5-game lead over the Phoenix Suns. Kevin Durant has been Houston’s most consistent player, leading the Rockets with 25.9 points per game. Durant, now 37, looks to lead his fifth franchise to the playoffs.
