The Knicks faced the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals but fell short, ending their season with a disappointing loss in Game Six. Despite their strong efforts and a close score at halftime, the team faltered due to turnovers and poor shooting. Off the court, the writer reflects on personal struggles, including his wife's battle with cancer, and how the Knicks served as a vital distraction during tough times. Though gratitude exists for reaching the final four, the overwhelming feeling is one of gut-wrenching disappointment at what could have been.
In a close-out game, the Knicks missed nine free throws, turned the ball over 18 points (costing them 34 points), and shot 28% from deep.
The deeper your team gets into the playoffs, the more it stings. You start to allow yourself to believe in the impossible, and then those hopes get crushed.
