CLEVELAND — As the Knicks face the prospect of setting the franchise record for most consecutive losses at 17 in Monday’s “Zion Bowl” against the Cavaliers, rookie Kevin Knox is upset some of the team’s fans aren’t more annoyed.
Knicks coach David Fizdale is also disappointed by the perception he’s coaching to lose games to ensure the best odds to win the lottery, with the top prize being a Duke Mack Truck named Zion Williamson.
Fizdale said he would never “cheat the game” like that.
In the summer, Knox thought the Knicks could contend for the eighth seed and get into the 37-win range.
