The New York Knicks were looking to gauge their progress against Eastern Conference leaders, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, but suffered disappointing losses, finishing 0-5 against them this season. The Knicks lost by 37 points to the Cavaliers and by 13 points to the Celtics, revealing a significant gap in skill. Players like Karl-Anthony Towns acknowledged the team's ongoing development, while Kristaps Porzingis noted the importance of defensive play, hinting at the potential needed to compete effectively in the playoffs.
"Where I said from the beginning of the season: We're a work in progress. We're gonna be a work in progress all year until the day we step into the postseason."
"It's good for the Knicks that they still have another 25 games to go, because what this one against Boston showed is that there remains a Grand Canyon-sized gap between New York and its historic rival."
