Knicks 111, Clippers 97: “Why are the starters still in?”

Disclaimer: that headline is not a dig at Tom Thibodeau.

That headline, courtesy of hockeybeaverton, speaks volumes of what the New York Knicks (3-4) did to the Los Angeles Clippers (3-3) on Monday as they ran the visitors out of MSG by beating them 111-97.

Here’s the context.

Fourth quarter. Knicks up by 14, 102-88. Paul George handles the rocks, dribbles it up the floor, crosses halfcourt, passes it to new teammate James Harden right behind the arc. Josh Hart—sporting a big-ass man-bun instead of braided hair—covers him tightly. 4:34 left on the clock.
