The Knicks are the NBA's only remaining unbeaten team (5-0) after Monday's 99-89 victory over the Magic. This marks the Knicks' first 5-0 start since 1993-94, when they opened 7-0 on their way to making the NBA Finals (where they lost to the Rockets in seven games). As Knicks fans revel in the team's promising play, we look back at the '93-94 team, which went 57-25 and finished with the league's best defense under Pat Riley.
