Tonight had the second opportunity to sit on the floor of the Garden and watch a Knicks game. My girl and I had seats about 4 rows from the Knicks bench, where we could see all the injured Knicks (Marbury) and minus a coach today – Larry Brown left the game yesterday premature with a stomach ailment in Cleveland.
The Knicks have one of the worst records in basketball and tonight they showed why – they just couldn’t keep up the energy and the Bucks took them down with a final score of 97 to 80.
We did a pretty good job in the first half,” Williams said. “But then in the third quarter we came out and had no energy. We didn’t move the ball and we turned it over too much. We fell back into what we were doing before.”
Ford had 14 points and 10 assists for the Bucks, who are tied with Indiana and Washington for fifth place in the East. Bobby Simmons had 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Milwaukee led by 33 points in the fourth quarter and snapped a six-game road losing streak. Joe Smith scored 11 points and Andrew Bogut contributed 10.
“It would have been nice to get this win for both him and for Herb,” Knicks center Eddy Curry said. “But for whatever reason we just didn’t have it tonight – like a lot of other nights.”
This probably says it all for the knicks:
At last Saturday’s Cal men’s hoops season finale versus USC, Bears boosters pulled a prank that straddles the fuzzy gray line between “Crap-Yer-Pants Hilarious” and “Inexcusably Cruel.”
