It was an ugly win for the Knicks, and they'll have more as the season goes along. But I hope that Mike Woodson makes sure his team understands that slippage like that against better teams will result in losses.
In their first four games, the Knicks surprised many by consistently performing above preseason expectations and jumping out to an unbeaten start. Another night and another victory later, their breakout beginning doesn't seem to have an end in sight.
