The New York Knicks finally head home after a punishing seven-game road trip. They finished a respectable 3-4, though “respectable” doesn’t really move the needle at this point in a lost season. The Knicks are also coming off two consecutive close, heartbreaking losses, which is par for the course these days.
Our guys suffered one of their most embarrassing losses of the season at the hands of Wednesday’s opponent, the extremely tanking Portland Trail Blazers. Anfernee Simons scored 30 points as the Knicks blew a big lead to a team that had traded away most of their NBA-caliber players.
