on

Without the services of Carmelo Anthony, Robin Lopez, Kyle O’Quinn and the recovering Jose Calderon, the New York Knicks fell short in Charlotte, losing 93-97.

Coach Derek Fisher started with Langston Galloway, Arron Afflalo, Lance Thomas, Kristaps Porzingis and Kevin Seraphin, giving the younger players a shot.

Cleanthony Early led the Knicks with 17 buckets, the sophomore also contributing 4 boards, while Galloway went 3/3 from the three point lane, finishing the game with 15 points and 6 assists.

Despite losing the game, Derrick Williams and Lou Amundson had a more than decent performance, combining 26 points off the bench.

Porzingis who had missed the previous two games, returned to the floor and received 16 minutes, dropping 6 buckets and grabbing 4 rebounds.
