After starting their West Coast road trip with last Wednesday night’s 16-point offensive masterpiece against the Suns, it looked like the Knicks had turned a corner. But just days later, they presented us with one of the worst games of the season in a 15-pont loss to the Jazz where Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mikal Bridges combined for just 46 points while going a putrid 17-52 from the field. And it ultimately reminded us once and for all that, this team is still very much a work in progress.
Saturday night’s embarrassing loss to the 4-12 Jazz wasn’t an encouraging sign by any means, but the good news is that there at least is progress.
