The Golden State Warriors are seeking revenge against the New York Knicks tonight in a game that the Warriors really need to win. They are currently in the sixth spot in the Western Conference standings, but only two games ahead of the surging Los Angeles Lakers, who are now in the eighth seed.
Last time these two teams played, Stephen Curry put on a show at Madison Square Garden, as he exploded for 54 points to go along with 11 three-pointers. David Lee did not play in that game and he will be returning to action tonight after suffering a knee contusion in their loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
