Ohhhh it all hurts. That’s gotta be the first lost for me this season that stabbed me right in my soul and made me feel like I was 14 again.
Speaking of 14, the Knicks were up 14 in the fourth quarter. They’d had a close but relatively competent first half, then they’d truly blown it open in the third — Bucks missing, Joakim Noah passing, Mindaugas Kuzminskas exploding off the bench, and Carmelo Anthony finally locating a little pocket of heat from range.
And then — in what feels to my woe-addled brain like divine retribution for all those games New York won this year despite playing poorly most of the way — they blew it all.
