The Knicks get blown out by the Pistons and Evan says this isn't a one-game overreaction, it's a real slump that's been building since the NBA Cup. The effort is awful, the ball movement has vanished, and the numbers are getting ugly, including Karl-Anthony Towns having the worst statistical game of his career and Jalen Brunson finishing with zero assists. Evan tries to calm the panic by pointing out even elite teams like OKC have hit a midseason wall too.
