The Knicks face three crucial decisions this offseason. The answer is obvious: bring everybody back — or maybe don’t.

Nets 110, Knicks 98: Yuck

Hornets 125, Knicks 114: I only watched this game once
Tom Thibodeau followed the same script that has led to so many Knicks losses this year, pulling Immanuel Quickley right as he was energizing the team late in the fourth quarter, and the Knicks predictably notched their 43rd loss of the season.

The Knicks came out with a win vs. the Pistons on the road, but issues once again abounded in the second half when pace stagnated and the team struggled to close out against one of the worst teams in the NBA.
