The last seven days of New York basketball have been far from the lofty expectations the team faced coming into the season.
A home and home on back-to-back nights with our familiar foes from Cleveland started the week’s slate. Against a banged-up Cavalier squad, a balanced effort led the Knicks to an easy win to get back to the .500 mark.
But the good vibes stopped there. The following night, back at the Garden, New York shot 5-of-30 from long distance and failed to break the 90-point mark. Julius Randle shot 3-for-15 from the field in what is quickly becoming a trend this season.
