Knicks vow they’re not looking past Nets in season finale
NY Post
Nothing was more important than the Nets.
Shortly after the first-round playoff matchup with the Pistons was set, the Knicks had other things on their minds, having matched their worst losing streak of the season.
It began Tuesday, when the Knicks fumbled an opportunity to knock off the reigning champs, losing their lead to the Celtics in the final seconds of regulation and the game in overtime.
Two days later, the Knicks blew a 13-point second-half lead in Detroit.
On Friday, the Knicks coughed up a 23-point lead to the Cavaliers.
So what if Sunday’s regular-season finale in Brooklyn has no impact on the playoff seeding? So what if it comes against one of the league’s worst teams?

By the end of the night on which they were selected as the Rangers’ stars of the game, Chris Kreider and Mika Zibanejad skated off into the offseason having played a sum of 7,231:31 together — plus another 515:44 in the playoffs per Natural StatTrick — since becoming teammates during the summer of 2017.
