The New York Knicks are vivacious and exciting, even if they aren’t closing out these games. A strong showing from the Knicks was ultimately undone by an unconscious Kevin Durant.
The Knicks were within striking distance late into the fourth quarter, but Durant started shooting and he wasn’t missing. Durant scored 25 points in the fourth quarter en route to a 41-point night. The Knicks had a three-point lead after three quarters, but they were outscored by a whopping 31-points in the fourth quarter (47-16).
But despite the Warriors avalanche that always feels inevitable, there were positive signs from tonight.
