The New York Knicks and Minnesota Timberwolves had nearly identical seasons last year, both losing in the conference finals. However, a noticeable difference emerged in their latest matchup.
The Knicks defeated the Timberwolves 137-114 at Madison Square Garden, improving to 5-3 overall and maintaining a perfect 5-0 home record this season. Since acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns in a blockbuster trade, the Knicks have won two out of three meetings with the Timberwolves.
“It’s a big win versus a really good team,” Brown said. “It’s well coached.”
Following a three-game losing streak, the Knicks have now won three consecutive games, marking their best home start since 2012.
Summary: The Knicks showcased significant potential with a convincing win, demonstrating balanced play, improved teamwork, and a promising outlook for their season.
