With 1:45 left in the fourth quarter, New York Knicks starting shooting guard Quentin Grimes missed a wide-open stepback three-pointer that could have cut the Brooklyn Nets’ lead to one. Adding insult to injury, Kyrie Irving hit a dagger 3 over Grimes in the next Nets possession.
That crucial six-point swing enabled the Nets to escape with a 122-115 win amid the Knicks’ furious fourth-quarter rally Saturday night at Barclays Center.
Grimes went 2 for 7 overall from downtown against the Nets. It’s now part of a more significant shooting slump (6 of 27) over his last four games.
