Knicks at a Crossroads: Is Their Playoff Dream About to Collapse?
Following Tuesday’s humbling 111-94 loss to the Rockets, New York (48-28) finds itself just half a game ahead of Cleveland for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. The game itself was a mess: Jalen Brunson struggled to generate any real offensive threat, finishing with 12 points on 5-for-14 shooting; Towns ended his night with 22 but needed 17 shots to get there, with the bulk of his scoring coming in the fourth quarter when the game was well out of reach; New York shot a woeful 29% from behind the arc; and the team, despite a hefty advantage on the offensive glass (23 second-chance points on 12 offensive boards), scored a measly 80.7 points per 100 half-court possessions — good for 10th percentile of all games this season.
