There are nights where coaches just want to throw away the box score and pretend it never happened.
And then there are nights like the one the Knicks had Sunday night against Orlando, a night where no one could have blamed coach David Fizdale if he wanted to shred the box score, burn the strips and then bury them in the backyard just in case anyone ever wanted to remind him of it.
The Knicks suffered their worst humiliation of what is shaping up to be a long, tough season, getting whacked, 115-89, in front of their own crowd at Madison Square Garden.
