Knicks hear boos as nightmare first quarter leads to ugly loss

Sometimes during this wait-till-next-year season, it’s hard to judge a Knicks loss, but Sunday’s was unmistakably an embarrassing stinker.

The Knicks heard their first boos of this developmental season when the first-quarter horror was over and it got worse as coach David Fizdale suffered his most horrific defeat since coming to New York in a 115-89 blowout to the young Magic.

The Knicks fell behind 10-0, didn’t score until five minutes into the contest, trailed 30-10 after one quarter and were down 33 early in the fourth period against a club that hasn’t made the playoffs since the 2011-12 season.
