The Knicks went up 11 early, let Chicago back in and were tied in the third. Right on cue in the 3rd quarter, the Knicks squandered their chance to seize the game. Then on three consecutive possessions the Knicks went shot-clock expiration, bad pass out of bounds, shot-clock expiration.

And sure enough, when they seemed to inch towards Chicago late in the 4th, noted Knick-killer Ben Gordon made sure they didn't.

Lot-er-ree!!
