I really don’t want to talk about this game. The pain is still too fresh. But we soldier on, don’t we, fellow Knicks fans?
The Knicks came oh-so-close to knocking off the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday evening. Why didn’t they finish the job? The excellence of superstars Kevin Durant and James Harden? Ref bullshit? A little bit of both, I’d say. More importantly, though, the Knicks once again fell prey to their most persistent nemesis this season: the early third-quarter malaise.
New York held a one-point lead at the half, and the Nets quickly erased it by starting the third quarter on a 12-0 run in less than three minutes.
