(AP) -- Give the dysfunctional New York Knicks some credit - they're winning the games they're supposed to be winning for a playoff push in the Eastern Conference.

The Knicks try to match their season best with a fifth consecutive win when they visit the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night.

With seemingly one distraction after another all season - from Carmelo Anthony's impending decision to opt out of his deal at season's end to J.R. Smith's disruptive behavior to season-long speculation over coach Mike Woodson's job security to the latest drama of owner James Dolan's rumored attempts to entice Phil Jackson to join the organization in some capacity - the Knicks (25-40) have consistently provided some form of entertainment despite being 10th in the East and 3 1/2 games out of the final postseason spot.
