There was a changing of the guards at halftime for the Knicks. The move that fans have been clamoring for finally came to fruition.
The Knicks opened the second half of their 108-104 loss to the Timberwolves Friday night with Trey Burke at point guard and rookie Frank Ntilikina at shooting guard. Disappointing Emmanuel Mudiay and Courtney Lee were spectators in the third quarter.
Lee re-entered in the fourth, but Mudiay didn’t. He sat the last three quarters. Mudiay has been hampered by an ankle issue, but Hornacek said his ankle was fine and he just didn’t “have it” tonight.
