New York’s offense let it down against the Lakers. The Knicks’ jumpers abandoned them, leaving them unable to catch up as the Lakers held the lead all game. New York still made second-half pushes, thanks to quality defense. But Jalen Brunson’s turnovers all but sealed the defeat down the stretch.
The scoring woes continued, as three Knicks scored all but four of New York’s 55 first-half points against the Clippers. New York played sloppily, with turnovers thwarting every attempt they made at a comeback.
