Allonzo Trier nearly saves #Knicks from RJ Barrett’s dud outing but Miller’s troops drop fifth straight nypost.com/2020/02/26/all…

Knicks clinch their 7th-straight non-winning season with a 107-101 loss in Charlotte. NY is tied for the 4th-worst record in the NBA and now 17-41. They're on a 4-game losing streak after a 4-game win streak. Allonzo Trier off the bench with 15 points. theathletic.com/1634836/2020/0… pic.twitter.com/yfiKRxugtZ

Terry Rozier put a lotta spin and air on this one to get it over Mitchell Robinson. Went in somehow, though, to give the Hornets a 102-97 lead over the Knicks with 28.7 seconds left. Rozier smiling after because he has to know that was a wild one. pic.twitter.com/ZnnqnPmZa8

Trier leading comeback with outside and inside flair. He’s 4 of 5 for 11 points as Knicks within 2 with 2:55 left.

We've got a 2-point game late in the 4th in Charlotte between the Knicks and Hornets. You could say this game finally has some buzz.

Allonzo Trier has 7 points in 9 minutes. He didn't come in until there was 4:20 left in the 3rd quarter. Knicks have outscored the Hornets by 7 points in the time he's played, cutting a 13-point deficit to 6 halfway through the 4th quarter. theathletic.com/1634836/2020/0…

Geo Baker jumper. Rutgers up 64-62

Trier coming in with Knicks down 13 in third quarter. Oh my.

Rutgers has cut it to three after trailing by 21 in the first half.

RJ Barrett struggled in first half. Scoreless on 0 for 6 shooting. Missing with his left and right hand tonight.

Rutgers is down 42-24 to Penn State after a poor first half. Shot just 31 percent, while Penn State was 6-of-13 from 3. Nittany Lions had 14 points off turnovers.

OK, yes I'll read about Swolehei Jackedtani, @FabianArdaya theathletic.com/1635702/2020/0…

What a move and dunk by Dennis Smith Jr. He splits the Hornets double and then finishes with a thunderous dunk. The Knicks point guard is playing in his home state tonight, a few hours drive from Fayetteville. theathletic.com/1634836/2020/0… pic.twitter.com/fBauG7U05x

I still find it disorienting to see this much defense being played.

Penn State is 6-of-11 from 3 so far and has taken a 14-point lead. Rutgers shooting just 36 percent. 6:03 to go in the first half.

Kyle Lowry having his number retired tonight at Villanova....no Toronto media in attendance. (They win one lousy championship and they all slack off. Sad.) pic.twitter.com/Kezchmpc6o

Tons of empty seats here st Spectrum Center for Knicks, who are cheap to see on road. Tickets were $3 on Gametime secondary-ticket app for tonight.

David Fizdale didn't hire a player development coach bc he said they're all PD coaches. The Knicks' VP of player development said his program would be akin to Nike and Google. How do Knicks compare to NBA's best in their player development philosophies? theathletic.com/1634836/2020/0…

Penn State jumps out to an early 10-2 lead on Rutgers. Rutgers 1-of-5 from the field so far.

Worth noting for the 2020 offseason: Some with ORL and DET had interest in dealing for Brooklyn’s Spencer Dinwiddie prior to the trade deadline: sny.tv/nets/news/coul…

Knicks will miss out tonight on Malik Monk, who is now suspended for violating NBA drug policy.

Malik Monk has been suspended, the NBA announces, for violating the NBA's anti-drug program. His suspension will start with tonight's Hornets game against the Knicks and won't end until he's in compliance with the NBA/NBPA anti-drug program.

RJ Barrett worked on his shot with Allan Houston before the Pacers game. Houston, a Knicks exec, is also on this Knicks road trip. Barrett has also been working with his trainer Drew Hanlen the whole season on it too. They had a film session before this road trip.

Knicks’ new regime plans to clear cap room for Tatum (the NY Post has learned) for when his second (or third) Celtics’ contract expires...

How does the Knicks' philosophy for player development compare to the rest of the NBA? Asked Nick Nurse, Mike Malone, and Kenny Atkinson what they think and to see where they differ. theathletic.com/1634836/2020/0…

With Keith Smart getting the boot with Fizdale, the Knicks don't have a real shooting coach. RJ Barrett said he spoke in recent days with Allan Houston about shooting.

Frank Ntilikina is out tonight in Charlotte with a sore groin. Wayne Ellington and Elfrid Payton are probable to play against the Hornets.

Knicks say Wayne Ellington (illness) and Elfrid Payton (sore right ankle) are probable for tonight. Frank Ntilikina (sore groin) is out.

Knicks Injury Report 2/26 at CHA: Probable - Wayne Ellington (illness) and Elfrid Payton (sore right ankle); Out - Frank Ntilikina (sore groin).

Antetokounmpo leads Bucks by Raptors in East finals rematch (from @AP) apnews.com/ab9cf3e067a755…

That Caruso pass to Bron... Geez

I don't trust myself, because I also thought Milwaukee was gonna win the title last year, and ended up being wrong. But they're performing better than they did last year, and the guy that played the biggest role in taking them down isn't in their conference anymore.

Was a little surprised they didn't review Lowry's offensive foul on Bledsoe with the head to the elbow for a flagrant. This last one was definitely worth a look.
