On Thursday evening, the New York Knicks played the Charlotte Hornets in North Carolina.
Despite being without Jalen Brunson, the Knicks are supposed to beat a team like Charlotte.
However, they lost by a score of 115-98.
Via ClutchPoints: "The Knicks lose their 2nd straight game, both by a margin of 15 or more points to losing teams
-17 vs. Hornets
-15 vs. Spurs"
After the game, Josh Hart made a brutally honest statement.
Hart (via Stefan Bondy of The New York Post): "The way we’re losing games is embarrassing."
Hart finished the loss with 13 points, four rebounds, six assists and one steal while shooting 5/8 from the field and 3/3 from the three-point range in 39 minutes of playing time.
With the loss to the Hornets, the Knicks dropped to 43-26 in 69 games, which still has them as the third seed in the Eastern Conference.
They are in the middle of a two-game losing streak (and 4-6 over their last ten).
Following the Hornets, the Knicks will play their next game on Saturday night when they host the Washington Wizards.
