The New York Knicks will not back down.
Tom Thibodeau’s team has been through some ups and downs this season, but they’re finishing the year strong and looking to make a statement.
The Knicks could end up with the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, and that’s despite Mitchell Robinson missing plenty of time, OG Anunoby also being out for a while, and Julius Randle not even coming back this season.
That’s why former NBA player Antonio Daniels believes this team’s attitude and character have been the main reason behind their success.
Talking on SiriusXM NBA Radio, Daniels claimed that no one is going to play harder than the New York Knicks.

He believes that even though other teams could be more talented, have more star power, or even more skill, they won’t be able to ‘outdog’ the Knicks.
That’s Thibodeau’s philosophy right there.
The Knicks play with grit.
Josh Hart is outhustling every single player on the court, dominating the glass like a big man, and putting his body on the line on every single possession.
Donte DiVincenzo is also serving as a key hustle player and Jalen Brunson looks like a legitimate star out there.
There will always be injury concerns with Tom Thibodeau’s teams, and he’s definitely wearing the Knicks out, but they’re not the kind of team that will back down from any fight, and that makes them scary.
