Golden State Warriors vs. New York Knicks preview
The red-hot Knicks roll into Chase Center fresh off their dominant win over Sacramento, where they lit it up from downtown with 22 three-pointers.
While New York's offense has been clicking - they're sixth in the league at 117.1 points per game - they'll face a Warriors squad that's found their rhythm at home, as shown in their recent sharp-shooting display against Portland.
Keep your eyes on Gary Payton II, who's coming off a monster 26-point performance on 68.8% shooting, giving Golden State that extra spark they've been searching for.
The Knicks' defensive grit (holding opponents to 112.7 PPG) will be tested by the Warriors' third-ranked passing attack, which dishes out 29.2 assists per game.
This matchup pits New York's board-crashing style (43 rebounds per game) against Golden State's more fluid offensive approach - though both teams have shown they can light up the scoreboard when they're rolling.
The Warriors' home court advantage at Chase Center could be the x-factor, but don't count out these scrappy Knicks who've been proving doubters wrong all season.
With both teams fighting for playoff positioning, expect an intense, high-energy clash that'll come down to which squad can impose their style of play.
