They say home is where the heart is.
But the New York Knicks never found their heart in another dispiriting loss at home.
On Sunday night, the Denver Nuggets’ superior talent not only overwhelmed but outworked the Knicks in a 114-89 defeat at The Garden.
The magic of the Knicks’ strong start to the season is starting to fade as they looked lethargic against the Nuggets.
The Knicks entered the night third in opponent field goal percentage (43.4%) and second in opponent 3-point field goal percentage (30.1%). That vaunted defense, which propelled them to a 5-3 start, was nowhere to be found.
