This loss was about the free throws. The Knicks missed a bunch — were 9-16 from the line. The Nets took a lot more free throws, and hit a much higher percentage of them — […]

Another despicable loss. In NYC on a Saturday night. Blown out of their own arena by 28 points in the first half by a team that came in with an 8-game losing streak and had […]
