A lot has been made of the Knicks' schedule, and their fatigue, and it showed Thursday as they dropped the second of their back-to-back, 115-98 to the Hornets in Charlotte.
New York could not feed off of the large contingent of Knicks fans in attendance as they were outplayed and outworked by the Hornets (18-51). Without Jalen Brunson, the Knicks' offense was flat and the team now falls to 3-4 without their captain.
Here are the takeaways...
-The Knicks got off to another slow start, missing their first three shots and allowing the Hornets to get out to a 9-2 lead in the opening minutes.
