CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The last time the Knicks were here, they pulled out an overtime thriller. That was last month but seems like last century. The Knicks have won just one game since.
After going to toe to toe with the Hornets for three quarters, despite having to use G Leaguer Kadeem Allen for 18 minutes, the Knicks performed their ritual fourth-quarter meltdown in dropping a 101-92 decision.
The Knicks, who lost their 10th straight game and 23 of 25 games, could hold down New York’s finest Kemba Walker for so long as he spurred Charlotte’s fourth-quarter splurge during which they went on a game-sealing 14-0 run.
