Early in the game, the Knicks’ “highlights” included a brick thrown up by Kevin Knox, an airball on a drive into the lane by Henry Ellenson and a jumper by Lance Thomas that caromed off the side of the backboard.
And they were winning.
That may tell you all you need to know about the battle of who could care less at Madison Square Garden between the Knicks and Cavaliers. The Knicks led by 11 in the fourth quarter before they lost — or won, depending on whether you’re looking at Thursday night’s score or the ping-pong balls for the NBA Draft Lottery.
