New York Knicks: Late comeback aside, injuries consume loss to Clippers

Home has not felt comfortable for the New York Knicks this stand. Blowout losses to the Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets made a miserable season sourer. It did not transpire as poorly Sunday afternoon, but the Knicks still dropped a game to the Los Angeles Clippers, 124-113.

Head coach David Fizdale’s team actually took the lead with just four minutes left. A late scoring run from Los Angeles sealed it, however, and it was too late to answer the call.

With this loss, as ESPN’s Ian Begley noted, New York must go 3-5 to avoid their franchise-record final mark:

Knicks led the Clippers with 4:24 to go but Lou Williams scored 12 of his 29 points in the final 3 minutes to help lift LAC to a win.
