Knicks, Thibodeau: “We can do it”

The Knicks have beaten the Lakers 111-96, and are 28-27, and have taken another step to consolidate within the 10-team dividing line to play some more basketball starting next month. They keep playing with the cliff, they keep driving along the edge, they keep threatening to tip over.

“This team has a belief,” Knicks manager Tom Thibodeau said Monday, perhaps half an hour after his team sent home most of the happy crowd and most of the Lakers (probably 25%) to home to reflect on what their team will be like when the varsity is back intact. “We can do it.”
