In a league in which winning is the only thing, coach Tom Thibodeau searched for a silver lining after the Knicks dropped to 28-40 with a 110-107 loss to the Nets in Brooklyn on Sunday.
Thibodeau talked about all "the young guys" who are playing and getting experience. A cynic would say those young guys are getting experience in losing close game after close game in the fourth quarter, but Thibodeau has no choice but to take the long view with the Knicks needing a miracle just to make the play-in tournament.
