There was no passing angle. So the bad play was on Lopez. Fish also takes some responsibility because he did not call a timeout. Kidd would call timeouts in these situations during that 54 win season because Woodson was also clueless.

OKC really helped us out, there. Westbrook shot a godawful three with plenty of time on the clock. Waiters got a good look but it just rimmed out. WHEW.

Just glad they actually scored down the stretch, even though it was painfully hard for them. I don't know what happens to their free-flowing teamwork when the clock hits 6:00 in the 4th. At that moment, EVERYBODY gets tight and starts playing not to lose.

Rolo should've called timeout. I mean, really, panicking up 3 with 10 seconds to go and you have possession and two time outs??? CALL TIME OUT

Whatever, they won, and Fish can show them tape and teach them from this.

One thing I'll say - kinda impressed that Westbrook didn't go for 40+ tonight on the Knicks. They mostly contained him.

It doesn't matter....Knicks won

I agree, but it does kind of matter. Why wouldn't Calderon catch that? Either you draw a foul or call a timeout. It's not like he's a terrible free throw shooter. Those are the kinds of brainfarts that will cost us down the stretch.

lol...I was wondering the same thing

Posting for about 10 minutes on this.

They actually had Aflalo guarding Westbrook.

Gallo had 5 steals, did as well as can be expected against Westbrook.

Unless something happened to Gallo, this was a rather large mistake by Fisher, IMO.

He did some good and bad down the stretch, but we got the win, so i guess they off set

Did hit those foul shots.

Really? Okay I have to see that again because to me it looked like Calderon had a chance to catch that.

OKC's roster and rotations are weirder than the Knicks, I have to say. I don't get their team AT ALL.

In the end we won a close game we could have lost but should have won easily.

This is the type of game a good team somehow wins, even if it's ugly.

Nice start to the road trip.

Agree. Not sure about the Kidd reference.

Also, my main take away from this game was:

Are we sure Scottie Brooks was that bad a coach?

I actually remember this happening a few times - if Kidd was on the floor he would call timeout in late game situations after a made shot.
