There is literally no excuse for any basketball team, particularly in this day and age, to score 75 points in a game.
That didn’t stop the New York Knicks from the complete and utter clunker that was Saturday’s 99-75 loss to the Boston Celtics. This stung more not just because of the lackadaisical performance on New York’s end, but because it’s the Celtics and RJ Barrett’s heroics sealed a win against them at Madison Square Garden on Thursday.
The loss dropped the Knicks to 19-21 in what’s been a horribly frustrating year, and this was just another underperformance amongst a litany of others.
