It's Evan and Tiki on WFAN, The Fan, 1019 FM, and always live on the Free Odyssey app.

I know, I know, I know.

Every Nick fan, rightfully so, is very angry at the two minutes of doom created by Tom Thibidon.

And I promise we're going to get to it soon.

But Tiki?

Mm-hmm.

There are many reasons why the New York Knicks didn't close out to Detroit Pistons last night.

I haven't done this often, but I'll do it today.

Jalen Brunson wasn't good enough.

The most clutch player in the NBA, first of all, barely played the fourth quarter more on that,

but was four for 16 from the field, he missed three free throws, he wasn't good enough.

Carl Anthony Towns, he had his moments.

The big game tied three, yippity do da.

Five for 14 from the field.

He wasn't good enough.

The way this game started, you should smell blood at Madison Square Garden, was not good enough.

The way this team comes out in third quarters was not good enough.

There was a lot of reasons why the New York Knicks lost. And before we get to the fibs brain fart, sometimes it's simple. The two best

players, not only on the New York Knicks, but two really good players in Carl Anthony Towns

and Jalen Brunson came up small in a closeout game at Madison
