1998–99 New York Knicks season

The 1998–99 New York Knicks season was the 52nd season of NBA basketball in New York City. The Head Coach was Jeff Van Gundy, serving for his 4th year. The team played its home games at Madison Square Garden in New York City. To give Patrick Ewing more help offensively and defensively, the Knicks acquired Latrell Sprewell from the Golden State Warriors, and Marcus Camby from the Toronto Raptors while signing free agent Kurt Thomas and re-signing Herb Williams during the offseason. However, because of the lockout shortened season, and injuries to Sprewell and Ewing, the Knicks had to build chemistry on the fly, and barely made the playoffs with a 27–23 record. The Knicks had to win six of its remaining eight games just to qualify.
