I wanted the Knicks to win this game. Actually, scratch that. I needed the Knicks to win this game. I’m going through a very rough patch in my personal life right now, and I certainly could have used it a little Bockers win balm to apply upon my emotional wounds. I know, sports wins don’t matter at all big picture-wise, but you try and find solace where you can, amirite?
That’s why the third quarter looked a bit like heaven. After going mano-y-mano for two quarters with the Sixers, they came out firing on all cylinders right after the long break.
