The Knicks have hit a rough patch due to several injuries to their top players. Because of that they have lost three consecutive games and four of their last five. Their last two losses came on Saturday night at home against an Indiana Pacers team who they beat nine days prior at home, and the Houston Rockets who they beat on January 17th. This time around on February 10th the Knicks were not able to keep the pace with Indiana who have the highest scoring offense in the NBA. They fell 124-109. Jalen Brunson had 40 points on February 1st against Indiana and scored 39 points against them Saturday night, but missing several of their top players has caught up with them. “Obviously everyone sees that, but we got to focus on right now, how can we be good right now,” Brunson said after the game referring to the injuries. “We can’t keep looking ahead and saying we’re going to be good. No, we’ve got to be good now.”
The Knicks were then on the wrong song of a bad call admitted to them by the officials following the game Monday night where they lost 105-103 to the Rockets in Houston.
