Things didn't get any better for the New York Knicks and embattled coach David Fizdale on Thursday night as they dropped a 129-92 decision to the Denver Nuggets at Madison Square Garden.
It was the eighth straight loss for the 4-18 Knicks.
The Knicks trailed by 43 points in the fourth quarter three nights after a 44-point loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and Fizdale said the team's effort was "sickening."
Last month, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Malika Andrews reported that league sources said Knicks president Steve Mills had started laying the internal groundwork for Fizdale's eventual firing.
