Coach Jeff Hornacek acted offended by suggestions Knicks president Phil Jackson forced him to make Kurt Rambis his defensive assistant this week. But he managed to throw in some Hillary Clinton humor.
“Call Wikileaks to look at my emails,’’ Hornacek said jokingly. “Zero. He didn’t have anything to do with it.’’
The Post reported Hornacek felt he needed a defensive voice like he had in Phoenix with Mike Longabardi, who is now with the Cavaliers. Nevertheless, it’s unclear if Jackson recommended Rambis for the assignment. Either way, Hornacek seems very pleased as the Knicks’ defense improved Wednesday — at least in the second half.
