Banged-up Knicks no match for Warriors and Stephen Curry
NY Post
Steph Curry sent the Knicks home on their struggle bus, bloodied and beaten again.
The 3-point ace helped dismantle Jalen Brunson’s squad in Thursday’s 110-99 Warriors victory at MSG, leaving the Knicks with seven losses in nine games and their fanbase longing for the injured frontcourt.
Curry put on a show early and finished with 31 points and 11 rebounds, watching the Knicks melt down the stretch.
The Knicks (35-25), who are suddenly in danger of dropping into a play-in spot, returned Brunson from neck spasms, but his presence wasn’t enough to resuscitate the flatlined offense.
Trailing for all but the opening 17 seconds of the game, the Knicks shot just 36.8 percent — getting duds from newcomers Bojan Bogdanovic (0-for-7 shooting) and Alec Burks (2-for-6).
The ’Nova trio of Brunson, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo combined to shoot 21-for-63.
