Another day, another nail-biting defeat for the New York Knicks.
Once again, the Knicks couldn't buy a basket in the final minute of the game, as Carmelo Anthony's potential game-winner rimmed out on Saturday night.
Devin Booker ultimately emerged as the hero, taking advantage of a lackluster Knicks defense to give the Suns the lead for good.

It's the fifth time this month that New York has lost by three points or less.
The Knicks fall to 19-26 on the season with the defeat, sitting just 11th in the Eastern Conference and two-and-a-half games out of a playoff spot.
