Knicks end their 8 game winning streak, sign Phil Jackson, inching the playoffs, Brooklyn Nets streak(s), and more.

On March 12th, 2014, the New York Knicks signed former NBA coach Phil Jackson, as their new president. Jackson will earn 12 million per year.

The Knicks were back to looking a little sloppy, ending their 8 game win streak, by losing 2 in a row. Following an EXTREMELY tough loss to the Lakers, Jackson told the New York Times, "It was awful, huh." Last night after defeating Sacramento, the Knicks are back to being just 2 games behind Atlanta for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Without too much time left to get their act together and pull through, the Knicks couldn't have found a better time to scoop up Jackson, as he is VERY much needed. 

A lot of fans have been unhappy with Mike Woodson lately, but is he to blame 100%? I certainly wasn't expecting this team to shape up after their horrific performance the past few months.

Melo scored 36 points last night, and JR Smith tied a franchise record with NINE 3 pointers! After last nights win, New York is 30-42, facing the Phoenix Suns tomorrow night. 

Just wrapping up a road trip with 10 regular season games left, the Knicks are set to return home to face the Brooklyn Nets, whose 4 game win streak, was broken in New Orleans on March 24th. 

The Nets have won their last 10 home games, with their last 3 games on the road, ending in overtime. Brooklyn is currently 37-33, losing their last 2 games.
