Is this a concerning trend that could be indicative of a larger issue?

Or should we not put much stock into it?

The Knicks, after winning seven games in a row against NBA bottom-feeders, have now lost two in a row as soon as their opponents increased in quality. And it wasn’t as if the Knicks were overly dominant when they played the tankers — they were made to sweat and escaped a few of those games with narrow wins.

It’s been more than three weeks since the Knicks beat a team over .500 — that was the Nuggets way back on March 6. Since the start of March, the Knicks are 3-5 against teams over .500. And against the NBA’s elite in each conference — the Thunder and Pistons — they’re 0-5 this season.
