You can’t script this thing any better, can you?
On Oscars Sunday of all days, the Knicks and the Sixers put together a masterpiece—for the bad, that is—with New York coming off one of their best defensive games of the season.
Just a couple of days after limiting a hapless Orlando Magic squad to a measly 76 points on Friday, the lowest score of the season until Sunday, all the Knicks could do yesterday was score 73 points throughout 48 minutes of play.
Even more damaging is the fact that, for the second consecutive game, New York somehow limited an opponent to score fewer than 80 points.
