Ah, well. When the Bulls played poorly, the Knicks beat them. They played very well tonight, and the Knicks did not beat them, falling way behind very early, then again very late. A combination of sloppy Knicks defense, streaky Knicks shooting, and some wild lineup swings sunk New York. Derek Fisher sent out lineups that went on double-digit runs, and he took some risks (like vacillating between very big and very small, limiting Robin Lopez, and playing Kevin Seraphin 9 non-garbage minutes) that definitely did not pay off. The Knicks climbed up one slope and tumbled down the other as Chicago went small and drowned the Knicks in buckets.
