Knicks finish with a worse record than 2020-21
Upon the conclusion of the 2020-21 season, the New York Knicks boasted a 41-31 record, which was good enough for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.
The 41 wins they endured a season ago is the most they’ve notched since the 2012-13 season when Carmelo Anthony led them to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.
Despite the positive moves the franchise has made, New York will finish with a worse record next season.
Finishing with a worse record has less to do about the Knicks and more to do with the other teams in the East like the Milwaukee Bucks, the Miami Heat, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Atlanta Hawks.
