On Wednesday, a few days after guard Derrick Rose made headlines for unexpectedly missing a game, the Knicks held a 97-96 lead over the Philadelphia 76ers in the closing moments of play.
With 6.8 seconds remaining, New York big man Kristaps Porzingis air-balled a shot from deep, and Philadelphia's Gerald Henderson collected the rebound and sprinted the other way.

Carmelo Anthony, on the other hand, appeared downright disgusted following the bucket:
