The New York Knicks’ task for the main tournament is still unchanged, as the club remains outside the play-in zone at the moment. There’s not much time left, but the team still can’t come close to tenth place.
The New York Knicks stayed close through three games in a row, picking up big wins, but came up short in their last meeting against the Charlotte Hornets (114-125). You could say that the Hornets got revenge for their recent defeat. Now Tom Thibodeau’s team had no chance of making a mistake.
In the game against the Hornets, Evan Fournier scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are also in contention, but for a place in the top six in the East. The situation is such that recent setbacks have had a negative impact on the standings, so the team has fallen behind Toronto.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have not been able to claim a win in two games. They couldn’t defeat the Dallas Mavs (112-120) and the Atlanta Hawks (107-131). Of course, both the players and the head coach don’t like that, especially since everyone knows that J.B. Bickerstaff’s team can be much more stable.
In the game against the Hawks, Cedi Osman scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
