The New York Knicks had full control of their destiny in front of a home crowd on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. A win would have clinched them a playoff spot amongst the top six teams in the East, the third straight season of doing so.

Despite KAT’s best efforts, a depleted rotation couldn’t keep up with the Clippers in the second half, and they ultimately fell by the score of 126-113.

Luckily, it only took one more day of waiting around for the news to become official.

Last night, with the Atlanta Hawks losing to the Miami Heat, the deed was done.
