Knicks coach David Fizdale has been wearing his FDNY sweatshirt for weeks, but he still can’t put out the fire.
If Fizdale was under a 10-game tryout since the Steve Mills Press Conference Game, the audition ended in disappointing fashion when the Knicks blew another lead and dropped a 113-104 decision to the Celtics in Sunday’s Garden matinee.
The Knicks, who led by nine points in the third quarter, dropped to 2-8 in the past 10 games (4-16 overall) since the embattled coach was seemingly put on alert. It’s the same 2-8 record that prompted the original firestorm.
