On Monday, it seemed as if maybe, just maybe, the New York Knicks were going to manage to hold onto a double-digit lead. Inevitably, though, the Knicks collapsed and allowed the Bucks to go on to a 111-107 win.

In the third quarter, New York began to unravel and allowed Milwaukee to go on a 13-2 run. At least toward the end of the quarter, fans that were tuned into MSG Network were provided with more entertainment than usual from Clyde Frazier. And no, it didn’t include a rhyme.

The referees were letting both teams play, so things quickly turned physical for the Knicks and the Bucks. An example of that was when Jalen Brunson was bringing the ball down the court for New York with less than 30 seconds to play in the third quarter. He dribbled over in front of Frazier and Mike Breen and was trapped by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jevon Carter. Both players were bumping into Brunson, but it took Carter practically running Brunson over for the whistle to be blown.

Brunson fell into the scorer’s table where Frazier and Breen were seated and for a second, Frazier forgot that he was on television.

Clyde’s a national treasure. Whether it’s him calling rookies neophytes or roasting one of those neophytes for being unaware of a five-second violation, he and Breen make tuning into Knicks games on MSG a pleasure. You never know what’s going to be said.

Monday’s contest ended up being a better football game than Georgia-TCU with the way that the officials were letting the Knicks and Bucks go at one another. Clyde acted on instinct after watching Brunson get pushed in his direction, but the whistle should’ve been blown before then.

At least it was a moment that gave Knicks fans a laugh before they watched their team lose hold of what was a 17-point lead. Thanks, Clyde.
