But the aggressive upgrading of the Knicks' roster and their performance throughout 2024 make it abundantly clear – their New Year's resolution is to finally win their first National Basketball Association (NBA) title in more than 50 years.
The Knicks will begin their attempts to make 2025 a memorable year on Jan 1 (Jan 2, Singapore time), when they host the Utah Jazz in the final regular-season meeting between the teams.
Both teams were off on New Year's Eve after playing on Dec 30, when the visiting Knicks pulled away from the Washington Wizards for a 126-106 win and the hosts Jazz fell to the Denver Nuggets 132-121.
The win was the eighth straight for the Knicks, who closed out 2024 with an appropriate measure of how far they have come in the last 12 months.
