We understand the won-loss record isn’t supposed to mean much this season and that there will be plenty of growing pains as the Knicks continue their slow process of trying to rebuild into a contender. But gee-whiz.
The Knicks were actually favored Monday night against the Suns, who entered the Garden with just six wins on the season. But the Knicks delivered one of their worst performances of the season in a 128-110 loss that was every bit as ugly as it sounds.
A putrid third quarter when the Knicks were outscored 41-17 doomed the home team and prompted boos and chants of “Sell the team” from some frustrated customers in crowd.
