Warriors 112, Knicks 105: Scenes from the most enjoyable loss of the season

Was this the greatest tank game ever? The New York Knicks took the court against their greatest tormentors, the Golden States Warriors, and made it a game throughout. I’m not even talking about a fake comeback, either — the Knicks actually led at halftime.

Sure, eventually Steph Curry got hot and danced a jolly jig, as this team is wont to do when beating up on over-matched opponents, but the ‘Bockers showed the basketball world something this Sunday afternoon. If only they had discovered it two months earlier.

Derrick Rose was the total package as a scorer, particularly in the second half. He got to the free-throw line (10-11 from the line) and dropped 28 points.

Kristaps Porzingis has one of his best games — not just recently, but this entire season. Matched up against the unsolvable riddle wrapped in a nut-puncher known as Draymond Green, the Unicorn finally conquered some of his demons by crossing that mouth-breather like a 7’3” Latvian Allen Iverson.

He even treated fans to a vintage Kristaps put-bank dunk late.

And what more can we say about Ron Baker at this point? Any thoughts, Spike Lee?

Recap to come. Some game!
