A rolling Knicks squad fell flat Tuesday night, blowing a 16-point halftime lead to the Hornets in a lethargic 112-105 loss at the Garden.
Part of being a successful NBA team is the notion that matchups against lower-echelon opponents can be construed as trap games, especially coming off the emotional nature of a win like Sunday’s double-overtime thriller for the Knicks in Boston.
After missing the Knicks’ double-overtime win Sunday in Boston, starting point guard Jalen Brunson sat out his second consecutive game with a sore left foot. Point guard LaMelo Ball also was out for the Hornets, who own the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference . “I know this, they have a belief right now, you can see that when they step on the floor,” Clifford said. “Right now they’re scoring. Their offense has been terrific.
Quickley buried his first 3-pointer of the night from the corner for a nine-point cushion, and then hit another from the right side for a 13-point cushion with 3:14 remaining until intermission. He converted a traditional three-point play less than one minute later.
