New York Knicks Mike Vaccaro Knicks display how good they really can be — and now must make it a habit By Mike Vaccaro Published April 25, 2026, 11:24 p.m. ET Josh Hart reacts during the Knicks' 114-98 Game 4 win over the Hawks on April 25, 2026 in Atlanta. Getty Images ATLANTA — It was one offensive possession of one basketball game. It was less than 10 seconds. You can’t project that small a sample size onto the rest of a game, or on the rest of the series. It’s wise not to get too carried away by it.
Still, this … well, this was a thing of beauty, on a night when the Knicks were playing for no less than their season. In the laboratory of Leon Rose’s mind when he put together this roster, in the workshop of Mike Brown’s imagination when he sought ways to elevate this team’s ceiling, this is what the Knicks look like.
This is who they are. This is what they are capable of.
