There is no better day than Super Bowl Sunday for an NBA team to suffer its worst loss of the season.
Why? Because in this case there were no back pages on Monday morning depicting an image of the Knicks blowing a four-point lead with possession and 1:07 to play at home to the worst team in the NBA.
For most of New York, the defeat is an afterthought. But it can’t be for the Knicks’ front office.
The game checked every box. An officiating mistake cost the Knicks a basket in the final minutes.
