Not even a 10 p.m. curfew could get the New York Knicks going against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Coming off their team slumber party on Friday, the Knicks hosted the Grizzlies at Madison Square Garden on Saturday afternoon. After trailing by as much as 18 and then cutting it to just four, New York gave a classic Knicks-go-down-big-then-give-fans-hope-by-making-a-run-but-still-lose effort.
With Saturday’s 95-87 loss to Memphis, the Knicks' record has fallen to an abysmal 8-18, with an even worse 4-10 record at home.
The Knicks remained consistently mediocre, however, as they are now 0-3 in games starting at noon this year. The good news? After losing their first two midday games by 31 and 41 points, respectively, the Knicks at least didn't lose by 51 on Saturday.
The loss to the injury-ridden Grizzlies is just another hideous blemish to add to the Knicks’ resume.
