The New York Knicks entered the week 16-64 on the season, the most abysmal in the franchise's history. The team began 2014-15 talking up postseason aspirations, but they have been a dumpster fire for months now.
Hey, at least Knicks fans can take solace in knowing they'll have the best shot for the number one pick in next month's lottery, right? Wrong.
Just when they needed their 65th loss, the Knicks ran off an improbable win instead, defeating the Atlanta Hawks 112-108. The win move the Knicks a game ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the standings. Barring a win by Minnesota over Oklahoma City in their final game of the season, the Knicks are now second in lottery balls and no longer a guarantee for a top 4 draft pick.
Knicks Twitter, which had nobly suffered through all the losing this season thinking it'd end up worth it, were understandably irate and devastated online Monday night.
