Alarming pattern leads Knicks questions earlier than West Coast journey

LOS ANGELES — It began to crumble for the Knicks about midway by the fourth quarter Tuesday night time. They’d been nicely inside placing distance for a lot of the sport towards the Warriors, even tying the rating early within the closing interval.

However because the clock hit profitable time, it shortly turned obvious — or frustratingly apparent to each viewer — that taking the ball out of Jalen Brunson’s palms meant the Knicks had no viable choices.

So Brunson predictably noticed two defenders as quickly as he crossed midcourt with 6:10 remaining. He managed to separate them and drove right into a collapsing paint earlier than dishing it out to OG Anunoby for a nook 3-pointer.

Brick.
