What a difference a year makes for reeling Knicks in January 2025

New York: A lot can change in a year, right? Last January, the Knicks were on fire, racking up 14 wins and just two losses. They even had an eight-game winning streak going.

Fast forward to January 2025, and things look pretty different. They just got crushed by the Thunder, marking their fourth loss this month. That nine-game winning streak feels like a distant memory now.

Jalen Brunson summed it up perfectly: “Last year was 2024. This is 2025. It’s a year difference.” The Knicks had an easier schedule last January, but this time around, they’re facing some tough competition.

With the Bucks coming to town soon, the pressure is on. They need to step it up, especially since they haven’t won against the top teams in the league yet.

Josh Hart emphasized the need for teamwork and energy, saying they can’t just rely on talent to win games. They’ve got to work together and sacrifice for each other.

It’s been a rough patch, but they still have time to turn things around. A win against the Bucks could help salvage this month, but they’ve got to get their act together first.
