Golden State Warriors v New York Knicks
2021-22 NBA Regular Season
Friday 11 February 2022
Chase Center, San Francisco, California
Tip-off at 05:00
The Golden State Warriors will look to slay the New York Knicks when the teams meet for an NBA Regular Season game at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California on the morning of Friday 11 February 2022. Tip-off is at 05:00.
The Warriors have enjoyed a fine campaign and look set for an upper-table finish in the Western Conference – though the Phoenix Suns loom large as the ‘team to beat’ on the Pacific side of the league. Still, Golden State has proven that even if star players such as Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are absent, they are still more than capable of grinding out a win against quality opponents.

Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody, for example, have stepped up to the plate, with Warriors coach Steve Kerr particularly happy with the former: “I’m really proud of [Kuminga] because the last couple of games haven’t gone well for him. He stayed with it and was just a huge factor, particularly in that second half. He made some massive plays and some really good passes, which is really important. He draws so much attention that when he passes the ball, good things happen for us.”
The Knicks, by contrast, are having a tough season and find themselves struggling to compete for a spot in the Playoffs. One of their issues has been a defence which starts strongly, but gets slacker as the game goes on. Such was the case in New York’s heavy defeat to the Grizzlies last week.

"So I thought our perimeter defence was pretty good, the help was good, but then [Jaren] Jackson got loose, [Ziaire] Williams got loose, [De’Anthony] Melton got loose," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "So we have to, like, finish our defence."
In head-to-head stats, the Warriors and the Knicks have met in 345 Regular Season games since 1946-47, with Golden State claiming 183 wins compared to 162 for New York. The teams’ last Regular Season meeting was in December 2021, with the Warriors winning 105-96 away thanks to 22 points from Stephen Curry.
