December 1, 2018. That was the last time the New York Knicks won a basketball game at Madison Square Garden– that is until last night, when they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 130-118.

The Knicks have had a rough season as they tank their way to the bottom of the standings and before last night, the team had lost a franchise-record 18 games in a row at home. The team was led by it’s young core with second year guard Damyean Dotson finishing with a team high 27 points and a career-high 8 three pointers. New Knicks’ guard Dennis Smith Jr. dished out 13 assists and nearly turned Davis Bertans into a poster with this monster dunk attempt.


The news of the win spread all the way to Los Angeles and even got a mention at last nights Oscars ceremony. Samuel L. Jackson and Brie Larson were presenting the awards for best adapted and original screenplay, when Jackson made an aside to inform Spike Lee of the Knicks triumphant win. Lee went on to win the award for best adapted screenplay marking two big wins for New York last night.

Other notes from the game last night include great play from both Knicks rookies, Kevin Knox and Mitchell Robinson. Knox had a double-double with 19 points and 10 boards. Robinson also contributed a double-double including five blocks and this nasty alley oop slam.

The Knicks currently hold the second worst record in the NBA as they set their sights on the draft lottery and the upcoming free agency window.
