PORTLAND, Ore. — When David Fizdale finished his last practice session as coach of the Knicks he talked about lineup changes he was planning, saying he was considering moves at all of the spots. But when he was dismissed and Mike Miller took over, the lineup has remained in place.
In Miller’s first game as coach against Indiana Saturday Frank Ntilikina got the start, but Elfrid Payton, in just his second game back from a hamstring strain that sidelined him for 17 games, played the entire fourth quarter and finished with nine points, seven assists and three steals.
