Knicks Eye 18th Straight Win In Cleveland Showdown
The New York Knicks, leading the NBA at 22-1, aim to set a league record by winning 18 in a row against the Cincinnati Royals in Cleveland tonight. A crowd of 10,000 is expected as the Knicks seek the milestone that eluded the Capitols in 1946 and Celtics in 1959. Bob Cousy, then Celtic star and later Royals player coach, recalled that game and the poor Celtic play. The Bullets trailed the Warriors 118-116 in the night’s other NBA action.
