The Knicks had a true point guard in the starting lineup Friday night, but they finished the game with just as many questions as when it began.
Elfrid Payton got the start against the Nets, and yet when it came to crunch time, coach David Fizdale turned to RJ Barrett to run the point with Allonzo Trier and then Wayne Ellington joining him in the backcourt, and the Knicks nearly pulled off a comeback before falling 113-109 at Barclays Center
“It’s difficult. It’s difficult,” Fizdale said of the ongoing search at point guard, before indicating he was still not close to knowing what he wants to do moving forward.
