The potential game-tying shot from Julius Randle had barely finished bouncing off the rim Monday night, putting an end to another hard-fought and disappointing loss when the Knicks had to turn their attention to the next task.
The loss to the Nets was another chance to test themselves against one of the best teams in the NBA, and the Knicks found themselves battling but just not able to get the win. The Knicks are now 2-8 in games decided by three points or less, and their only win over a team with a winning record in the last two months came against a severely shorthanded Milwaukee squad missing four starters and seven of their top players.
