This team just isn’t built for today’s NBA and a winless four-game trip out west proves it. New York could barely keep up with the Phoenix Suns last Friday and may have won were it not for missed free throws. On Sunday, the Knicks lost to the Clippers despite Kawhi Leonard sitting and Paul George playing on one leg.
Cut to blowout losses to the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz, and this trip went about as badly as possible for the Knicks. As I covered last week, the west coast swing was a strength test that could have included at least two Knicks wins.
