This New York Knicks' season was not supposed to go this way. When you trade away a total of six first-rounders for the combination of Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns after finishing second in the Eastern Conference in the year prior, your sights are set on a Larry O’Brien trophy. Well, at least they were set on that.

The massive difference in free throw attempts sparked outrage among the Knicks faithful and NBA fans, with many calling out the league for it. Several others demanded the league to investigate the referees and take a look at how the game was officiated.
