The Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks will do battle at the illustrious Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon.
It might come as a surprise to many that the Golden State Warriors are facing some pretty big obstacles right now. The team has suffered their first back-to-back losses in almost two years and they’re without Kevin Durant indefinitely. To say they’re not at their best currently would be an understatement.
A great way to work on getting right would be putting on a show against the New York Knicks on national television on Sunday. The Knicks are battling injuries of their own right now and continue to climb up the reverse standings toward a better pick in the lottery.
Date: Sunday, March 5, 2017
Start Time: 3:30 p.m. ET
Location: New York, NY
Venue: Madison Square Garden
TV Info: ABC

However, that doesn’t mean the team has given in and has gone full-on tanking either. They’re trying to persevere through any distractions or injuries bothering the team. Golden State has to expect New York to give them their best fight on the main stage on Sunday.

One area that has continued to plague Golden State is shooting the basketball. Stephen Curry is one of the worst shooting slumps of his career and Klay Thompson has struggled shooting from beyond the arc as well.
This is the perfect opportunity for the Warriors to find their way again. They have winnable games coming up and they need to take full advantage of them as they try and hold onto the best record in the NBA.
