It was over. The full game between New York and the Nets had finally come to an end.
The final score was 144 to 141.
The New York Knicks had erupted for an insane 47-point fourth quarter, outscoring the Nets 47 to 36.
Chen Xi alone had scored 24 points in the quarter!

If they hadn't lost in the end, there wouldn't have been a single flaw in their stat lines.
But that was precisely the key issue.
