The New York Knicks are battling for their playoff lives Saturday night and they might not be able to escape Indiana with their championship dreams intact. Carmelo Anthony has been carrying the team on his injured shoulders, and the question everyone is pondering is how long can New York last the way they’ve been playing.
They fell hard out of the gate and even after tying the series, the Knicks have been devastated by injuries and illnesses that sunk them into a 3-1 hole. They were able to pull out a win at home in Madison Square Garden in Game 5 but the fact of the matter remains they’re winless on the road inside the Bankers Life Fieldhouse and there’s no reason Indiana is going to go light on the Knicks in Game 6.
