November 28 - The New York Knicks embarked on a five-game, cross-country road trip last week in a test of their consistency.
But stability remains elusive as ever for the Knicks as they conclude the trek Friday afternoon with a visit to the Charlotte Hornets in NBA Cup Group A.
Both teams were off on Thanksgiving after losing Wednesday night. The Knicks fell to the Dallas Mavericks, 129-114, while the host Hornets saw their furious fourth-quarter comeback bid come up short as they were edged by the Miami Heat, 98-94.
The loss continued a frustrating pattern of wins followed by losses on the road trip for the Knicks.
