Jeff Hornacek didn’t want to hear about Courtney Lee’s late technical foul or two calls that went against Kristaps Porzingis late.
The Grizzlies were without their three top starters in Marc Gasol (illness), Mike Conley (Achilles) and Chandler Parsons (knee soreness) and his team still didn’t heed his warnings.
Despite Memphis’ 14-28 record coming in, they had young talented players. The Knicks sleepwalked for three quarters in falling behind by 18 points as Memphis ran the ball down their throats in a despicable 105-99 loss.
Hornacek called Lee’s late technical before a jump ball “meaningless’’ and wished the anger in the locker room was directed at their lazy defense, not the officiating.
