Coach David Fizdale used the word “sickening” to describe the New York Knicks’ latest loss—a 129-92 crushing by the Denver Nuggets. It was the team’s second consecutive game of losing by at least 35 points.
This was not always out of hand, either, at 50-44, Denver, in the second quarter. Failing to defend the three-point field goal was the Knicks unraveling, though, leading to a 17-1 run by coach Mike Malone’s squad and the landslide deficit for the rest of the game.
Thursday’s performance was a disaster for the Knicks. The front office, coach and players all deserve blame for not just this, but Monday’s nightmare against the Bucks and the 4-18 record through just over one-fourth of the season.
