It was a great win for the Knicks after a a brutal loss to the Orlando Magic just two days earlier.

Although there have been ups and downs so far this season, The Knicks cut loose in several of their games and that allowed them to stay close to the top.
The Knicks persevere, despite the absence of OG Anunobiand must figure out a way to keep the headlines from the New York Post from going bad. After the victory over the Hornets, they were 3-1 in their last four games, and 9-3 in November. The Knicks will face tougher tests, including the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday at Madison Square Garden. They will then finish the month against the division-leading Toronto Raptors before opening December on the road against the Boston Celtics.
