The team getting in the way of Knicks’ path to Budenholzer

If the Knicks’ top two coaching desires are Mike Budenholzer and David Fizdale, that doesn’t necessarily guarantee they snare either.

Fizdale has interviewed with Atlanta, Charlotte and Phoenix. And Budenholzer?

Several league sources believe the Bucks and their New York-based ownership will pounce and enter “The Bud Bowl.’’

Milwaukee was eliminated in Game 7 of their first-round series Saturday. At least interim coach Joe Prunty wasn’t fired upon landing at Milwaukee’s airport.

Prunty, who had taken over for the fired Jason Kidd, finished up 21-16 and gained the seventh seed in th Eastern Conference. But a first-round exit against the depleted Celtics isn’t exactly overachieving.
