The New York Knicks have not won a playoff game in quite some time.
In fact, it’s been over 11 years – and 12 games – since their last postseason victory.
Here is a brief look at the losing streak:
1. May 2, 2001
Raptors 100, Knicks 93
With Knicks looking to win first-round series in Game 4, they have no answer for Vince Carter, who scores 32 points in Toronto.
2. May 4, 2001
Raptors 93, Knicks 89
Long before Linsanity hits Garden, Vin-sanity leaves its mark, as Carter eliminates Knicks with 27 points in 93-89 Game 5 win.
3. April 17, 2004
Nets 107, Knicks 83
Stephon Marbury leads the Knicks into his old New Jersey stomping grounds and gets stomped. Knicks’ leading scorer that night is Penny Hardaway with 18 points.
4. April 20, 2004
Nets 99, Knicks 81
Kenyon Martin, who would later be called out by Tim Thomas as being a “fugazy,” scores 22 in another Jersey rout. Marbury leads Knicks with 23.
5. April 22, 2004
Nets 81, Knicks 78
After GM Isiah Thomas “welcomes” Knick fans to the playoffs, Nets basically show them the door. Knicks trail by one with 42.3 seconds left, but can’t get any closer.
6. April 25, 2004
Nets 100, Knicks 94
K-Mart sticks it to Knicks with 36 points, and despite getting 31 from Marbury, Knicks are swept in what would be last Knick playoff game at Garden in seven years.
7. April 27, 2011
Celtics 87, Knicks 85
It’s a new era of Knicks basketball as Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire go into Boston on a mission. Anthony, however, shoots just 1-for-11, including missing final shot.
8. April 19, 2011
Celtics 96, Knicks 93
Things start off badly for Knicks as Stoudemire hurts back doing a trick dunk in pregame warmups. Still, Knicks hang tough thanks to 42 points from Anthony, but he passes up last shot and Knicks fall.
9. April 22, 2011
Celtics 113, Knicks 96
With Stoudemire hobbled and Anthony shooting just 4 of 16, Knicks get blown out at Garden.
10. April 24, 2011
Celtics 101, Knicks 89
Knicks never have a chance as Boston takes 55-38 lead at half and coasts to victory. Anthony (32) and Stoudemire (19) combine for more than half their team’s points, but the Knicks are eliminated at Garden for third straight time.
11. April 28, 2012
Heat 100, Knicks 67
Knicks take their talents to South Beach and get burned as LeBron James scores 32 in rout. Worse yet, Iman Shumpert tears ACL and is lost for season.
12. April 30, 2012
Heat 104, Knicks 94
Knicks get beaten on court and bloodied off it, as Stoudemire punches fire extinguisher door following loss, dealing himself out for Thursday’s Game 3.
