There was less than a minute left and the Knicks were down by 18 points to the Memphis Grizzlies at the Garden on Wednesday night.
Then all heck broke out.
A lazy inbounds pass was rolling around on the floor when Memphis’ Jae Crowder ran in, stole the ball, ran behind the three-point line opposite the Grizzlies’ bench, and hoisted up a three-pointer.
Knicks guard Elfrid Payton rushed at Crowder and knocked him to the ground with his forearm.
