Knicks need to return to defensive roots to reestablish identity

In the last article I wrote earlier this week, I marveled over the Knick’s shooting and scoring to start the month of December.

The next game after that was an ugly 117-113 loss to the Utah Jazz in Utah on Wednesday night. New York reverted to their old selves. They only hit 44 percent of their field goals and shot an awful 22-of-32 (69%) from the foul line. They also shot 9-of-23 (23%) from three, just a bad night shooting from a relatively good three-point shooting team.

Bad offense happens, and they still put up 113 in a losing effort.
