Knicks Bulletin: ‘I tweaked my calf’

Fake comeback attempt by New York on Friday.

Fake concerning development across the nation’s airspace, too.

Here’s a bunch of the latest, including some interesting Josh Hart revelations.

On the decision to draw up the final shot for Karl-Anthony Towns instead of Jalen Brunson:

“We needed a 2-pointer. We had executed something like that in practice. We thought we would gain an advantage with a little rip screen. KAT got a great look. Probably a shot that he makes nine out of 10 times. So I’m okay with it.”

On what really led to the Knicks’ loss to Indiana:

“That play was something we liked, and we went to it. But I’ll say this: That play did not cost us the game. We were lucky a little bit, and our guys did fight to give us a chance down the stretch. But I don’t care who you play, it’s going to be hard to win a game on the road when you lose the possession game like we did, if we get blown by on defense as bad as we did, if you let your opponent win the physicality battle like we did. It’s all a recipe for a loss. And that’s where I’m disappointed.”

On his reaction to the no-call on OG Anunoby’s drive to the basket:

“I did get a T, but the reality of it is they were playing harder than us. It was out of frustration. Some of it because we just had a game that we played, and you have a guy like Jalen [Brunson] who’s an All-Star and an MVP candidate; he goes 0-0 from the free-throw line. And at the end of the first half [here], I think it was maybe 20 to three or something like that, and that in itself is frustrating.

“To know that we’re getting beat that bad from the free-throw line, and they’re missing some calls. Now, are we fouling? Yes, and we got to do a better job doing our work earlier. But in the same breath, the discrepancy…
