If you didn't actually watch this game and all you were able to see was these highlights your initial reaction would be something like:"Damn the Knicks are always losing at the end". For the rest of the Knicks world that was glued to the television, they witnessed the true essence of playoff basketball. A battle from start until finish, key players going down, role players stepping up, every possession counts kinda game. Game 2 had every ingredient a MSG Classics Knicks game needed except for the win part.
No Billups, Amare with back spasms and the Knicks had a lead in the final minute of the game is a positive. I may seem like a "homer" right now but I was not this optimistic immediately after the loss. I took some time to gather my thoughts, rewound the tape about 500 times and watched the post game interviews. I realized that this team was not down, there spirits weren't broken, they were going to spin this into a motivation factor.
Backbreaking and season ending loss or the Motivation to see some Winning Knicks basketball friday?
