Jeff Hornacek wanted to see a little extra fire in his players’ eyes. He got his wish, and the Knicks did something they hadn’t done in seven weeks — a home victory.
It was a rare sight with Knicks’ players jumping off the bench and waving their towels. They haven’t had much to cheer lately.
March Madness, indeed.
The Knicks built a 38-point second-half lead and coasted to a 124-101 victory over the Charlotte Hornets Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. This is not a misprint. The Knicks snapped a nine-game losing streak overall and eight-game home skid.
