Mike Woodson: New York Knicks "hungry" for playoff berth

Mike Woodson has said that the New York Knicks are "hungry" for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.

The team's 110-81 victory over the Brooklyn Nets last night moves them above the Atlanta Hawks into eighth in their conference with 12 wins from their last 15 games.

The coach told reporters: "Our guys are hungry. Normally anybody that comes off the West Coast, when you've been out there for a while, that game coming back is normally a tough game, but our guys came out with energy and came out ready to play."

The Knicks have six games remaining to clinch a spot in the post-season.
