I had to feed my daughter a bottle during halftime of Tuesday’s Knicks-Spurs tilt, and she dragged the feeding out so long that I missed most of the third quarter. The Knicks were down four at the end of a sloppy first half from both teams, so I was dying to see if New York had managed to pull things together and take the initiative.
They did not take the initiative. By the time Nora gave me a post-bottle burpy, the deficit had ballooned to 17. The Knicks were listless in the third quarter, scoring only 21 points to the Spurs’ 36.
