New York's back-to-back losses in Los Angeles to both the Lakers and Clippers emphasize the team's inconsistency issues. In typical fashion for this Knicks team, they followed up a 39-point victory over the Nuggets with two sloppy losses. Turnovers were a major factor in each, with the Knicks logging 19 against the Clippers and 18 against the Lakers.
The unusual numbers in the turnover columns raise questions on why the Knicks were unable to take care of the rock. Head coach Mike Brown attributed the giveaways to an issue that seems easily fixable: ball handlers jumping while passing.
