And the Knicks have been outmatched attempts wise in five of their seven games against those clubs, including all five of the showdowns with Boston and Cleveland. “At the root of it all, it’s math,” an Eastern Conference scout said. “They’re really efficient, and will win a ton of games. But the [3-point] volume isn’t enough to beat the Clevelands and the Bostons. Especially when you also factor in that the Knicks are [offensive] rebounding and getting to the line a lot less than last year’s team did.”
