Knicks barely outlast Warriors in battle of NBA futility

SAN FRANCISCO — The Knicks are not the worst team in the NBA.

The squad’s with the NBA’s two worst records — the Knicks and Warriors — battled into overtime Wednesday. The least-sickly club turned out to be the Knicks, who survived by the skin of their teeth.

With Marcus Morris exploding for 36 points, the Knicks broke their 10-game losing streak and escaped the NBA cellar with a 124-122 OT victory against what’s left of Golden State.

In the Knicks’ first game at the Warriors’ new palace, Chase Center, Mike Miller moved to 1-2 as interim coach after his club built a 22-point first-half lead and blew all of it.
