The Knicks also want to win against the Hornets

The first three-day break of the season for the New York Knicks came just as they began to get back into shape. For the Charlotte Hornets, the opportunity to return to the court after their biggest comeback win of the season offers a chance to build some much-needed momentum. The Knicks and Hornets will look to pick up where they left off Sunday afternoon when the teams meet in New York. The Knicks haven’t played since Wednesday, when they scored the game’s first 13 points and were never seriously threatened in a 126-105 win over the visiting San Antonio Spurs. The Hornets will complete a two-game road trip after earning a 124-117 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday in their first NBA tournament game of the season. The lopsided victory over the Spurs gave the Knicks their first winning streak of the season. It also capitalized on the momentum New York showed Monday when the hosts beat the Los Angeles Clippers 111-97 in a game that was tied entering the fourth quarter.
