Mike D’Antoni’s Knicks can score with anyone, but if they aren’t going to make key stops, they’ll have to endure disappointing losses like Tuesday’s against the Pacers. Danny Granger’s 17-footer with under a second remaining sent the Knicks to their third straight loss.
There was plenty of drama in the game’s final minute. With 41 seconds remaining in the game, the Knicks took a 115-114 lead on a Toney Douglas three-pointer. But on the ensuing possession, Darren Collison shook loose from Chauncey Billups to hit a 16-footer, giving Indiana a one-point edge. Then Paul George picked Billups’s pocket and drew a foul. The rookie hit one of two free throws, stretching the Pacers lead to 116-114. A Carmelo Anthony baseline drive tied the game at 116 with seven seconds remaining, setting the stage for Granger’s heroics.
