To say that the New York Knicks are on a hot streak right now would be a complete understatement. The Knicks just scored their ninth straight victory on Saturday following an easy 120-103 win over the Toronto Raptors, and for his part, this has put Stephen A. Smith in a state of frenzy.

If you had any doubt as to Stephen A.'s fandom for the Knicks then you should definitely take a look at this clip (h/t ClutchPoints on Twitter):

While we are used to Smith's in-depth and often intense takes on all things basketball, his video above is all passion. Stephen A. had no analysis to present nor did he have much to say about New York's victory on Saturday. The ESPN anchor was clearly just overjoyed by how his team has taken the NBA by storm of late.

The Knicks made quick work of Toronto on Saturday. While the Raptors were able to keep it close for the most part, New York ran away in the fourth quarter as they once again proved that they can perform in crunch time.

Julius Randle had another outstanding performance, posting a game-high 31 points on 10-of-17 shooting, to go along with 10 rebounds, an assist, and five triples. RJ Barret wasn't bad himself, finishing with 25 points, 12 boards, four assists, and three three-pointers.

That's now nine straight wins for the Knicks as they fortify their position in the standings out East. They are currently sitting at the fourth spot in the conference and are slowly separating themselves from the rest of the pack.
