Following a big home win over the Thunder on Saturday, the Warriors look to begin their three-game East Coast road trip with a win at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.
In Saturday's win over OKC, the Warriors (46-14) were led by All-Stars Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry. Durant scored a game-high 28 points, while Curry added 21 points, six assists and a team-high nine rebounds. Nick Young also contributed 16 points off the bench for the Warriors, connecting on four of his five 3-point attempts. Golden State has won both of its games since returning from the All-Star break but remain a half game back of the Western Conference-leading Rockets (46-13).

The Knicks (24-37) have struggled as of late. Since losing All-Star forward Kristaps Porzingis to a torn ACL on Feb. 2, New York has lost seven of eight games, including a loss to the Celtics on Saturday night. In the loss to Boston, Knicks point guard Trey Burke led the team with 26 points and eight assists, and shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. added 17 points of his own. However, the Knicks could not overcome Kyrie Irving's near triple-double (31 points, eight assists, nine rebounds) and 24 points from Jaylen Brown.
Another win would give the Warriors their fourth consecutive season sweep over the Knicks, whose last win over against Golden State came in March of 2014. The Warriors' last loss at Madison Square Garden came in February of 2013, despite a 54-point breakout performance from Stephen Curry.

Tune in Monday night to see if the Warriors will continue their dominance over the Knicks.
