The New York Knicks showed great fighting heart as they stormed back from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit. But a Nicolas Batum three-pointer to beat the buzzer at the end of regulation deflated their spirits.
The Knicks faded in the overtime anew while the Los Angeles Clippers veterans took over in a 134- 128 win Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
Norman Powell and Kawhi Leonard combined for 13 points to deal the Knicks’ sixth loss in league-leading nine overtime games this season.
It was a heartbreaker for the Knicks who came alive in the fourth quarter after trailing for most of the way.
