Boxscore


Orlando outscored the home team 30-10 in the first quarter and nothing helped the Knicks to get back in the game from that point on.

“We came out flat and they came out firing. We didn’t wake up until the second quarter and started playing the game.”

David Fizdale

Tim Hardaway Jr., who finished with just seven points, the most from the Knicks’ starting five, put the blame on himself for the disaster.

“It was my fault. I got to do better coming out of the gate. All the guys look at me at both ends. I didn’t deliver.”

The other four starters combined for a total of just 9 points while the second unit were the ones that carried the team on their backs.
