A comprehensive list of everything that had to go wrong to lose Game 1

Well, that sucked.

Few losses just leave you utterly bewildered, like what happened last night. As a Yankee fan, I unfortunately saw one of those in the World Series last year. This isn’t the first rodeo for the Knicks, either.

They blew a nine-point lead in 35 seconds to Luka Doncic and the Mavericks in December 2022. They blew a six-point lead with 25 seconds left to Tyrese Maxey and the Sixers in Game 5 last year. This was somehow worse than both.

First blown 9+ point lead in the final minute in playoff history.
