CHICAGO — If the Knicks were put on notice Sunday, what’s the alarm sound like right now?
With the pressure amped up after Garden Chairman James Dolan sent his front office executives out to speak Sunday night after a humiliating loss, the team took the court at the United Center and if they insisted the pressure would not effect them, it didn’t. They played exactly the way they have all year.
They did little on this night to change the narrative or ease the tension, playing a struggling Bulls squad to a draw much of the night before putting a defensively-challenged unit on the floor to start the fourth quarter.
