New York Knicks snap 6 game losing streak with 115-106 win over Washington Wizards

Last night the New York Knicks defeated the Washington Wizards, 115-106, at Madison Square Garden to snap a six game losing streak and maintain a record over .500 (23-21). The Wizards are now a dismal 0-21 on the road this year. With the season just past the halfway point, the Knicks have a strong chance of making the playoffs this spring for the first time since 2004 and earning their first playoff victory in 10 years. A true test of the Knicks’ post-season chances will come this Thursday when they host the star-studded Miami Heat, a team they might face in the playoffs.
