It’s a big season for the New York Knicks, one of only three teams to have won at least one playoff series in each of the last three years. Having reached the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 seasons last May, anything less than a trip to the NBA Finals would be a disappointment.

A new coach was hired, depth was added to help the Knicks take the next step and they’re off to a strong start. They saw their five-game winning streak come to an end on Wednesday, but remain one of seven teams that have seen improvements of at least 1.0 points per 100 possessions on both ends of the floor from last season, when you take the league-average increase in efficiency into account.
