The New York Knicks
New York, which has recently won eight games in a row, recorded 31 wins and 17 losses,
rising to third place in the Eastern Conference.
It is 1.5 games behind the second-place Milwaukee Bucks (32 wins, 15 losses).
As a result, New York achieved a good record of 14 wins and 2 losses in the month of January this year.
This is the first time in 30 years that New York has won 14 games in one month since March 1994,
when it recorded all 14 wins.
Their teams record for most monthly wins was 15 wins (3 losses) in December 1968.
New York began a winning streak after acquiring OG Anunoby through a trade from the Toronto Raptors on December 31 last year.
The Games
New York Knicks, which barely exceeded the .500 winning percentage with 17 wins and 15 losses until last year,
has since transformed into a completely different team by winning 5 and 8 games in a row.
The New York recently won the game by 15 points,
despite the team’s star Julius Randle being unable to play until mid-February due to a shoulder injury,
and Anunoby also missing the game today due to an elbow injury.
New York, which has continued its winning streak despite the absence of both Randle and Anunoby in the last two games,
has become a task of how to make up for the injury gap of Randle,
who is recording 24 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5 assists this season.
Anunoby’s absence is expected to be shorter than Randle’s.
The Golden State Warriors, with Stephen Curry scoring 37 points, including eight 3-pointers,
defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 119-107.
Golden State, which escaped the crisis of three consecutive losses,
ranked 12th among 15 teams in the Western Conference with 20 wins and 24 losses.
Philadelphia lost its fourth straight game,
scoring only 14 points despite the return of Joel Embiid,
who had missed the last two games due to a knee injury.
