Knicks coach David Fizdale shows his trust in Allonzo Trier in big spots

With Tim Hardaway Jr. on the bench in sweats, unable to play, and lottery pick Kevin Knox making a brief appearance after seven games on the sidelines with a sprained ankle, David Fizdale didn’t exactly have a lot of good options as he gathered the Knicks in a huddle to plot out a potential game-winning shot Monday night -- a decision he had to ponder four times as the game went into double-overtime.

The first two tries, the Knicks coach put the ball in the hands of undrafted rookie Allonzo Trier. There was a missed foul-line jumper.
