Not again.
The New York Knicks parlayed a 24-2 third-quarter stretch into a 10-point lead, but for the second game in a row, they collapsed. And for the second game in a row, it was the woeful play of the bench — once the team’s foundation — which doomed the Knicks to a 113-104 loss.
The good guys really could have used the services of Quentin Grimes Monday night. Unfortunately, Grimes was out with a sore knee. The Jazz have plenty of talented scoring guards in Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson, and unfortunately RJ Barrett couldn’t guard them all.
