The New York Knicks scored 10 points in the third quarter, choked away a lead with 3:05 remaining in the fourth quarter, and lost to an injury-decimated Pelicans squad, 99-91. Who cares anymore?
The Knicks started off whipping the Pels with pick-and-rolls, like that's just something they do:

But then they just kind of farted around for the last three minutes.
Recap to come. One game closer to the offseason.
