At 3 PM Thursday afternoon fans discovered that the current iteration of the New York Knickerbockers basketball club would be the exact same group they had been watching all season. A few hours later, the Knicks reminded their fans why watching an unchanged version of this club is a fate worse than death.
New York displayed their characteristic brand of non-defense in Cleveland, allowing 119 points to a Cavs squad missing Kevin Love.
Oh, and Kristaps Porzingis got hurt.
Courtney Lee was by far New York’s best player on the evening, dropping 25 points on 10-15 shooting to go along with 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
