The Knicks’ season-long failure at the free-throw line cost them again Friday night.
David Fizdale lamented that his team, which entered ranked 30th in the NBA from the charity stripe at 67.2 percent this season, missed 14 of 33 free throw attempts in a 101-95 loss to the 76ers at the Garden.
“Overall, I thought the effort was fantastic, but too many of these close games we’ve shot poorly from the free-throw line and that just continues to be a bug for us right now,” Fizdale said. “You can’t miss 14 free throws in a game against a team like that in a close game and expect to win.
