DENVER — Whether the bench is run by David Fizdale or Mike Miller, the Knicks don’t have all the answers against the Nuggets.
But at least this time, Miller’s Knicks didn’t quit.
Hardly.
Ten days after the Nuggets (17-8) walloped them by 37 points in Fizdale’s swan song, Denver was spanking the Knicks again, building a 20-point lead in the second quarter and a 67-51 bulge by halftime.
But the Knicks (6-21) showed grittiness in the second half, taking a five-point lead with seven minutes left at Pepsi Center before going ice cold in the final minutes and falling 111-105 in the conclusion of their four-game western swing.
