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?

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
