Last Sunday, the Knicks defeated Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets in front of an electric Madison Square Garden crowd, hours before the Rangers crushed the Capitals, 7–0. Three days later, the Knicks would battle Boston to the final buzzer — and, unfortunately for Amar’e Stoudemire’s last-gasp three-pointer, for a couple tenths of a second after the buzzer too. Then last night, the Rangers — coming off a (costly) win in Pittsburgh — rallied in the third period once again, beating Phoenix to continue their rise up the Eastern Conference standings. It may not be spring-of-’94 intensity quite yet, but it’s all been a pleasure to watch, nonetheless. Next up for the building, LeBron James and the Heat tonight. (All together now: Booooooooooooo!)
