The Knicks played a Saturday matinee as if the game didn’t begin until tonight, getting whupped 113-99 by the Denver Nuggets in a scoreline that flatters to deceive. This game was a waste of anyone’s time who watched it. I’m not going to waste my time or yours giving this the usual recap treatment, because into every season a few ass-kickings must fall, and that’s what this was.
Denver shot 52% from the field and 47% from deep on 20 makes. The Knicks were 40% and 30% on 12. Nikola Jokiu0107 put up 32, 11 and five in about half a game.
