The New York Knicks were really hoping Friday would prove to be Opposite Day, and with good reason. After getting shellacked by Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets in a 113-97 loss on Wednesday, New York’s road trip didn’t get any easier. Friday night meant facing Chris Paul and the rejuvenated Phoenix Suns, who beat the Knicks in a stunning come-from-behind victory on April 26.
In case you all forgot, that loss snapped the Knicks’ nine-game winning streak.
Seeing as how the Knicks shot just 38.4% as a team and committed 15 turnovers in Denver, a turnaround game was necessary.
