[LAL/NYK] Don't call it a comeback...

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

New York is on the precipice of erasing a twenty-plus point second half deficit that had gotten as high as twenty-five. Jamal Crawford going to the line with a chance to cut it to three, with three minutes to go.

So close, and yet so far away... To borrow a phrase from Greg Anthony, bad teams find ways to lose: Knicks had a shot to tie it at the end, but Jordan Farmar with a game-clinching steal and a dunk as time runs out.

Jamal Crawford had thirty of his thirty-one in the second half, including fourteen in the fourth, but it wasn't enough.

The Knicks really must be cursed if they can't close the deal. LA has been an absolute turnstyle with their leads this year.

Plus, that 20 pt lead was built in a flash anyway. One of NY's problems is that they waited til the 3rd quarter to play with any passion at all. They may have won this game otherwise.

And I know it wasn't Isiah who diagrammed a straight pass to the midcourt logo. On second thought..."Now there's a steal by Bird!..."
