Jeff Hornacek called his last first-timeout of the game with 9:58 remaining in the first quarter of game 82 tonight. The Knicks, down 8-4 after two ghastly turnovers, must have gotten the message. Either that or the Cavs pulled the plug on Lebron James and the Rotations (new band name!) rather than risk injury heading into the post season. New York finishes the year 29-53. Squarely the 9th-worst team in the NBA.
Upon arrival back home, Hornacek did indeed get faded. He went out on a high note, despite being out of key.
