What is the opposite of a fake comeback? A fake lead? A false promise? Whatever it is, that’s what the Knicks did tonight, competing for 36 minutes before a fugly fourth resulted in a 101-92 defeat to the Charlotte Hornets, New York’s 10th loss in a row and 23rd in 25 games. Yowza.
Let’s start with the positives. Kevin Knox was back at it tonight with the floaters. There was a Knoxaissance tonight.
Another Knick classic revisited: the Allonzo Trier/Mitchell Robinson alley-oop. There were several.
A pleasant surprise for New York was the NBA debut of Kadeem Allen.
