To say the New York Knicks have a free throw problem would be an understatement.
They rank 22nd in free throw percentage with a team mark of 76%. Granted, the Knicks made just 78.4% of their attempts from the charity stripe last year, but they at least ranked 14th in the league. Middle of the pack is still an improvement over lower tier.
The team’s free throw woes made their latest appearance in Tuesday night’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Knicks’ lost 112-110 and were 24 of 33 from the line. That’s nine points that could have been.
