NEW YORK — When Jalen Brunson went out for his pregame workout, he tested the right quadriceps contusion that had kept him out of practice Saturday and declared himself ready to play, putting the Knicks' roster at full strength
With Ja Morant and the Grizzlies awaiting them, having as many healthy bodies as they could muster seemed like a good idea. But they came up short in a 127-123 loss to Memphis on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks fought gamely to stay in it, coming back from a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit and even taking a 123-122 lead with 26.3 seconds left on a pair of free throws by Brunson.
