Tom Thibodeau wished he wasn’t so prescient when it came to the Timberwolves, his former club.
“It’s really a loaded roster,’’ Thibodeau said before Wednesday night’s game about the league’s worst team. “No lead is safe against them.”
And so it was.
The Knicks blew an 18-point lead in the first half, recovered and led by 13 points early in the fourth quarter before choking and dropping an awful 102-101 decision at Target Center.
It was so uncharacteristic of this gritty group and the first time in seven weeks that the Knicks have lost two consecutive games.
