Knicks Hold Off Short-Handed Celtics in MSG Showdown

The Knicks survive a late Celtics rally and beat Boston 112-106 at Madison Square Garden, as Jayson Tatum returns but struggles (24 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists on 7-for-22 with 6 turnovers) without Jaylen Brown. New York’s Jalen Brunson (25 points, 10 assists) and Josh Hart (26) spearhead a balanced effort with all five Knicks starters in double figures and 22 points from the bench. Boston, missing Brown, got 23 from Payton Pritchard off the bench and briefly grabbed a lead late in the fourth after a 19-4 run, but the Knicks closed it out and pushed their win total to 52 this season, signaling playoff-like tension if the teams meet again.

Knicks surge back from 21-point hole to topple shorthanded Warriors at MSG

The New York Knicks erased a 21-point deficit to edge the shorthanded Golden State Warriors 110-107 at Madison Square Garden. Jalen Brunson poured in 30 points, and a late sequence featuring clutch free throws from Landry Shamet and OG Anunoby helped seal the win after a costly Warriors turnover by Quinten Post in the final seconds. Golden State played without several regulars (including Curry and Green), while the Knicks benefited from a stronger second half and some bench contributions, though their start prompted postgame frustration from the opposition and added concern for New York about early execution.

Knicks Struggle to Involve Towns as Center-Less Pistons Edge MSG

New York failed to feed Karl-Anthony Towns early as a center-less Pistons squad—without Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart due to suspensions—built a halftime lead and held on for the win. Towns finished with 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists but only took three shots in the first half, then provided a spark in the third quarter. Coach Mike Brown said the Knicks will continue to run their system and search for ways to free Towns, who is having a down shooting season. The Knicks dropped the game and sit 0-3 in a stretch against the East’s No. 1 seed.

Tank­ing’s Mirage: Knicks Should Embrace Smart Drafting and Trades

Tank­ing’s Mirage: Knicks Should Embrace Smart Drafting and Trades

Tank­ing is a false promise; history shows championships come from savvy drafting and trades rather than losing to improve lottery odds. None of the last 20 Finals MVPs was drafted in the top four, and in the past six years players like SGA, Jaylen Brown, Jokic, Curry, Giannis—and even LeBron James via free agency—have demonstrated that elite teams win through smart acquisitions and development, not tanking. The Thunder’s tanking approach under Sam Presti is a notable outlier. For the Knicks, the takeaway is clear: avoid chasing losses and focus on smart drafting and trades instead.

MSG Sports eyes split of Knicks and Rangers into separate public companies

Madison Square Garden Sports' board approved exploring a plan to spin off its two franchises into separate publicly traded companies: the Knicks (and Westchester Knicks) as one company, and the Rangers (and Hartford Wolf Pack) as another. There is no timeline or guarantee; approvals from the NBA and NHL are required, and the move would aim to give each franchise clearer focus and investor characteristics, reflecting Dolan-era corporate restructuring.

Knicks shore up backcourt with Jose Alvarado as injury woes bite

The Knicks acquired Jose Alvarado from the Pelicans ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline for Dalen Terry, two second-round picks, and cash, hoping to add reliable ball-handling depth behind Jalen Brunson. With Deuce McBride headed for core surgery and other injuries testing the rotation, New York’s backcourt is thinner than it appears, making Alvarado both a needed upgrade and a reminder of how fragile the team’s playoff push has become.
