NBA analyst Zach Lowe highlights their successful defensive strategies, such as simplifying Karl-Anthony Towns roles and utilizing strong wing defenders like OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart. With playoffs approaching, the Knicks must maintain this defensive consistency to prove their regular-season form.
