Knicks fans were ashamed to show their faces at Madison Garden as New York fell behind the Rockets by 19 points last night (hat tip: Eric Freeman of Ball Don’t Lie).

It only got worse from there. The Knicks lost by 24, their 14th straight loss, extending a franchise record for consecutive losses within a single season.

Thankfully, Phil Jackson wasn’t wearing a bag over his head. Otherwise, we would have been robbed of the great facial expression he flashed in that video.
