New York Knicks: The 20 Most Painful Postseason Losses in History
It’s the offseason, which means there isn’t much news regarding Knicks basketball; after all. The gigantic news this week is the Knicks signing Sasha Vujacic, a guy who has played only 10 NBA minutes in the past four years. I figured it was still the right time to write a new blog; I’ll still write about three times a week, because I love you guys!
Today’s topic: Knicks heartbreaking playoff moments
I started to think about all of the Knick playoff disappointments after a good friend of mine, who is a die-hard Pacer fan, sent me this video. After weeks of re-watching old Knick playoff games, and reading tons of articles, I’ve complied a list of the 20 most …show more content…
The Knicks were lethargic all game, trailing by 10 after the first quarter and as much as 16 in the third. The Nets offense collapsed, going 12 minutes and 15 seconds (including the final 9:35 of regulation) , without a field goal and only scoring 9 points in the fourth quarter. Patrick Ewing made the game-saving play, blocking Kenny Anderson’s layup, with the score tied at 83, which sent the game into overtime.
The lead seesawed in the final minute of overtime. John Starks, for once in his Knick career, hit a big shot, a three, which gave the Knicks a 90-89 lead with 1:04 left. The Nets answered; Armon Gilliam’s dunk gave the Nets a 91-90 lead with 43.5 seconds left. Ewing hit a turnaround jumper to give the Knicks a 92-91 lead with 20 seconds left. The Knicks just needed one more stop to sweep the Nets. But Charles Oakley fouled Chris Morris, who got away with a travel as he was penetrating to the basket. Morris hit both free throws, which gave the Nets a one-point lead.
On the last possession, with a chance to win the game, John Starks miraculously found himself wide open for a three pointer.
And of course, he missed it….. and had a stupid dejected look on his face. Did anyone with a brain, watching the game thought he would actually make that
