People that are putting money on the 2016-17 New York Knicks on a Friday night in April are already in a dark place as it is, but this latest loss vs the spread had to really hurt.
With the Memphis Grizzlies leading the Knicks 99-89 in the game’s final seconds, Grizzlies rookie guard Wade Baldwin IV was dribbling out the clock, and then decided to toss up a meaningless three from just in front of half-court at the buzzer. Swish.
And the line was Knicks +12.5…

I had Knicks +12.5. This is how the game ended.

And that has to be the bad beat of the NBA season. Brutal.
Also, the Washington Wizards certainly would not have been fans of that late three from Baldwin.
