The worst team in Knicks history, the 2015 edition, was 15-64 entering game #80. Behind Cole Aldrich’s 19-point, 14 rebound effort they won a tight game against a sub-.500 Eastern conference prole. Despite a late flourish that season, Aldrich had seen his final days in a Knick uniform.
Last night the other worst team in Knicks history stood at 15-64 entering game #80 against the sub-.500 Washington Wizards. Behind Mario Hezonja’s third consecutive game-of-his-life, the Knicks won a tight one, 113-110. We won’t know for a few months whether Mario’s earned the right to re-up or if Hez has hosed us and this is just another kink in another machine that never ran right.
