Time flies, especially in sports. If we told you that the last time the Knicks won their division was the 1993-94 season, would you believe us. You should, because prior to last night, that was the case. Nineteen seasons. That’s amazing.
After defeating the Wizards last night, the Knicks not only won 13 straight (their longest win streak in nearly two decades), but they won the Atlantic division as well.
This team seems to be clicking at the right time.
The Knicks romped to their first Atlantic Division title since 1994, getting 36 points from Carmelo Anthony and beating the Washington Wizards 120-99 on Tuesday night for their 13th straight victory.
Anthony put this one away with 21 points during the Knicks’ 37-point third quarter that gave them a 95-71 lead. The NBA’s scoring leader added eight rebounds and six assists while becoming the first Knick since newly elected Hall of Famer Bernard King with five straight 35-point games.
