Well, not much to say. The Knicks can afford letting the Warriors shoot the lights out when they are simultaneously forcing endless turnovers and making pretty nice things happen on offense:

When the turnover well dries up and the rim freezes, it's just a whole lot of this:

(Side note: Watching Kristaps Porzingis get repeatedly worked by Draymond Green was kinda...fun? I just feel so certain he's gonna watch that tape and learn a whole lot about how small/smart teams defend and attack him.)
The Knicks acquitted themselves pretty fine in the first half. I was disappointed to see them let the game slip away in the second. These things happen especially against the Warriors.
