Winning, losing streaks collide when Knicks host Wizards

The New York Knicks will look to extend their five-game winning streak on Sunday night when they host the woeful Washington Wizards.

New York (46-25) heads into the final 11 games of its regular season 1 1/2 games behind Boston for second place in the Eastern Conference, keeping pace after escaping a 93-92 defensive struggle against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

The win was the Knicks' first in nine games when scoring 100 points or less this season, but it improved New York to 22-0 when holding opponents to 102 points or less.
