Knicks Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
It's been a struggle to follow the bouncing basketball.
At this point in the season, the Knicks have to be worried about
the lack of timely rebounds. Their negative body language on the court
is an indication of the frustration whenever they work hard on defense
and fail to clean up on the boards to close out a possession.
Boston was downright antagonistic on Tuesday, grabbing nine
offensive caroms.
"That's going to happen some because we do play small," Knicks
coach Mike D'Antoni said afterward. "When we got after it in the last
16 minutes, they didn't hurt us. If we're going to play little, we
have to play hard."
On the season, the Knicks rank last in the league when it comes to
rebound differential.
