David Fizdale reacts to Rockets bolting bench early: ‘Not losing sleep’

David Fizdale will reserve judgment.

The Knicks coach said Sunday night he was unaware the Rockets starters left the bench during the fourth quarter of their rout and said he’s “not losing sleep about it,” as he doesn’t believe it was aimed as a slight against his woebegone franchise.

Fizdale said he won’t render an opinion because he doesn’t know the reasoning behind the unprecedented maneuver.

“I didn’t realize it during the game,” Fizdale said. “I found out later. I don’t know what they left for. It’s not for me to try to figure that stuff out.
