New York Knicks: Does Anybody Remember Defense?

Maybe if New York Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek channeled Robert Plant, his team would pay attention. Because right now nothing’s working.

A brutal fourth quarter Sunday against the Utah Jazz concluded another poor defensive effort and led to the Knicks fourth loss in six games.

New York entered the final period with a two-point lead before allowing Utah to shoot 65 percent from the field, leading to a fourth-quarter rout.

After the loss, Derrick Rose was critical of the defense, more specifically the poor communication on pick and rolls.
