Last night two teams met in a game that meant little to nothing to either. The Cleveland Cavaliers clinched homecourt through the Eastern playoffs a while ago, while the New York Knicks are about five minutes from locking down the third seed. On top of that, the Knicks were without Jalen Brunson, Mitchell Robinson, Miles McBride and Cam Payne. If they somehow won, great! Wins are always fun to talk about. If they lost, who cares? They were shorthanded anyway. There was virtually no way the Knicks could “lose” last night, even if they lost.
Chris Herring wrote a great piece (as always) for ESPN today.
