NY Post (Peter Botte) —
Considering the controversies that emerged last week involving Spike Lee and the “sell the team” chants directed at James Dolan, winning three out of five on this completed homestand at least represents a small dose of on-court progress. The Knicks closed out a tumultuous week at home with no more discernible negative chants and a...

He is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Pistons at the Garden, awaiting final clearance to get out of...

Leon Rose, meet Kenny Atkinson. The new Knicks president was likely already plenty familiar with Atkinson, who was represented by Creative Artists Agency (where Rose was co-head of the basketball division before he took the Knicks job), but now the newly fired Nets coach may be viewed in a different light by Rose — as...

In a Saturday surprise, the Nets fired wildly popular head coach Kenny Atkinson after the point-guard whisperer helped rebuild the organization in three-plus seasons. For now, Brooklyn is turning to assistant Jacques Vaughn as the interim head coach as the Nets battle for a second straight trip to the postseason. Barring they win it all,...
NY Post (Marc Berman) —
Back when he was about 13 years old, native New Yorker Rich Kleiman was so obsessed with then-Knicks point guard Mark Jackson that he once posed as agent Leigh Steinberg and placed a crank call to former GM Ernie Grunfeld and scouting director Dick McGuire. Steinberg was then the rep for Greg Anthony, who was...

As Chris Paul walked into the Garden on Friday night in his gray-and-green sweatsuit, an NBA cameraman asked the 10-time All-Star point guard about rumors that have him being traded from the Thunder to the Knicks. “They trying to take some of that attention away from that Spike Lee stuff,” Paul cracked. Then, almost affirming...

Frank Ntilikina is on injury watch again. The Knicks point guard left Friday’s 126-103 loss to the Thunder at the Garden in the second quarter with a strained right ankle, though he returned to play just over four minutes in the fourth quarter. “I think [he’s OK],” interim coach Mike Miller said. “We’ll see what...

Paul had...

The Knicks lost. Some fans chanted “sell the team.” Wash, rinse, repeat. Friday featured an all-too-familiar scene at the Garden, with the Knicks getting blown out, 126-103, by the Thunder in a lackluster effort. The Knicks (19-44) lost for the eighth time in 10 games as their miserable season limps toward the home stretch. Fans...
