The New York Knicks have been lucky with the schedule of late, playing a host of bad teams. That can fool fans into thinking that this three-game win streak they were on was a sign that maybe the team was turning things around. Well, Friday night’s 95-80 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder was a fair reminder that this team isn’t particularly good.
Hardcore fans were excited at the start of the game, since Miles McBride and Obi Toppin were getting the start. (Kemba Walker injured his knee in warmups.) That was cool and all, but the youngsters didn’t exactly shine in their first extended action.
