14 points that is the lead the New York Knicks had over the Brooklyn Nets before blowing it in the fourth quarter and allowing them to make a triumphant come-back without James Harden or Kevin Durant on the floor. The Knicks simply cannot beat playoff-bound teams, losing their last few matchups against the Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, even falling to a league-worst Minnesota Timberwolves a few days ago.
This begs the question, did the Knicks make a mistake not selling the farm for a star player at the trade deadline a few weeks ago?
Ultimately, with their inability to hit clutch shots and close out games, it is becoming apparent that the Knicks desperately need another star to pair with Julius Randle.
