CLEVELAND — The Knicks are looking for a new coach again.
Jeff Hornacek was fired Thursday morning after the team landed from Cleveland following the Knicks’ 110-98, season-ending victory over the Cavaliers, a league source confirmed. Hornacek and associate head coach Kurt Rambis were relieved of their duties, the source said.
Hornacek had one year remaining on his contract. But as another dreary season wore on, it became increasingly evident that Hornacek wouldn’t return for a third season. The Knicks finished 29-53 and missed the playoffs for the fifth straight year.
He went 60-104 in two years as Knicks coach.
