The New York Knicks suffered a blowout loss to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night, losing 113-92 on the backs of De’Aron Fox and Buddy Hield, combining for 46 points on the night. Once again, David Fizdale’s team fell behind early and failed to compete defensively.
The Knicks are now sitting at 1-6 on the season, well below their expectations. However, struggles were anticipated considering the injection of veterans into the starting lineup. Their lack of chemistry has been on display this season, so far, and Fizdale hasn’t done much to motivate his team.
Changing around the point guard position and overplaying rookie, RJ Barrett, seems to be the priority for Fizdale, who’s in his second year as head coach for the Knicks.
