Game Summary

4. In a special Friday night event, the T-Wolves and Knicks squared off at school #6. Playing solid defense and feeding the post regularly (Kahli Ross 23pts), the Knicks seemed unstoppable as they built their lead to 12 points (31-19) with 4 ½ minutes remaining in the game. The Knicks were very happy with themselves. They had this in the bag; unfortunately they stopped doing what got them there. The T-Wolves saw an opening and ceased it. When the smoke cleared the Knicks lead had evaporated to 1 point (32-31) with under a minute remaining. Still ahead by 1, the Knicks, unable to “buy a basket”, fouled Calvin Cass Jr. (22pts) in the act of shooting with 0:38 seconds to go. Cass calmly hit the first foul shot to tie the score at 32. The gym was “electric” as the crowd roared its approval. As his 2nd shot swished through and the T-Wolves took their 1st and only lead of the game, the crowd exploded and the Knicks, for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, lost a game they should have won! Both teams had opportunities to score in the last 38 seconds to no avail. For the T-Wolves it was a great comeback win; for the Knicks it was heart breaking loss and another tough lesson to learn about winning. Final score: T-Wolves 33, Knicks 32.
