Admit it. You knew it.
You knew when Austin Rivers was draining shot after shot against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night that the Knicks were not going to win. You knew that despite building a 15-point lead over the hottest team in the league that the Knicks were too young, too exhausted, too out-talented to maintain their advantage for four quarters.
Admit it, you didn’t expect the Knicks to win.
