The New York Knicks (35-25) will tell you they played basketball on Thursday but we for one know they couldn’t buy a bucket. Perhaps that’s because their opponents, the suddenly scorching-hot Golden State Warriors, had already acquired them all by the time the hosts arrived at Madison Square Garden.
Steph Curry (31 points) led the Dubs to another win, their eighth in the last 10 games, by beating the hapless and injury-ravaged Knickerbockers 110-99 at MSG in the 60th game of the regular season for the New Yorkers.
Golden State lost no time and dealt with Tom Thibodeau’s squad quickly and swiftly perhaps knowing they had to take a plane destination north of the border to face the Raptors on the second game of a back-to-back on Friday, March 1.
