The Knicks dropped a Super Bowl Sunday matinee at Madison Square Garden to the Grizzlies 96-84 and looked like a bunch of guys who had been introduced the day before. Probably because they had.
The Knicks, still wobbling from the aftershocks of this past week’s stunning Kristaps Porzingis trade, featured new acquisitions Dennis Smith Jr., DeAndre Jordan and Wesley Matthews — fresh off the plane from Dallas, without the benefit of a practice — in heavy doses, along with recent G-League call-up Kadeem Allen.
The Knicks (10-42) shot 38.4 percent and committed 16 turnovers. They scored 22, 19, 21 and 22 points by quarter.
