The New York Knicks (18-13) have the longest current win streak in the NBA at 8 games, but keeping it going gets a bit more difficult on Wednesday night playing on the back-to-back. Luckily for NYK their 132-94 win over the Warriors on Tuesday night was a pretty easy one, but the Toronto Raptors (13-18) still see blood in the water especially as they try to snap a six game losing skid of their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a victory on Wednesday night the Knicks can tie the 9-game win streak that they had in April of 2021 and if they play like they did on Tuesday that shouldn’t be a problem. Sure Golden State was without Steph Curry <\/strong>(shoulder), but the Knicks never trailed once in the 38-point win that saw five players score at least 15 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Warriors’ 94 points marked the fifth time during the win streak<\/a> that Knicks opponents have been held under 100 points. Better yet coach Tom Thibodeau<\/strong> didn’t have to burn up his starters in getting the victory, as R.J. Barrett<\/strong> and Quentin Grimes<\/strong> led the team with 31 minutes. That should leave New York fairly fresh for the back-to-back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
