WASHINGTON — The new backcourt worked. Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek changed his starting point guard, removing Emmanuel Mudiay for Trey Burke, and it paid off in a rare 101-97 victory over the Wizards at Verizon Center.

WASHINGTON — Kyle O’Quinn issued an apology for screaming at Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek as he came off the court on Friday — an ugly scene caught on MSG Network’s cameras.

Trey Burke will make his first start as a Knick, according to a source, when the Knicks face the Wizards on Sunday.

The mystery of what prompted Kyle O’Quinn to shout at coach Jeff Hornacek as he came off the court in the first half of Friday night’s loss to Minnesota remained a mystery as the Knicks cancelled Saturday’s practice. O’Quinn, the volatile backup center who is known as a clown in the locker room, looked livid...

When Jeff Hornacek talked about rolling with Frank Ntilikina for his career-high 37 minutes Friday and ending Emmanuel Mudiay’s evening after five minutes, Hornacek didn’t reference making shots. The Knicks coach hinted at a competitive fire Ntilikina brought, his bumping and grinding defense on Timberwolves stud shooting guard Andrew Wiggins (5-of-15 for 17 points). Now...

Dr. Carlon Colker is bubbling with muscles and with optimism regarding his difficult task in resculpting Kristaps Porzingis for next season. “Despite the talk, ‘The sky is falling, he’ll never be the same,’ that’s a bunch of horse s–t,’’ Colker told The Post. “He’ll be better than ever.

Jeff Hornacek finally pulled the plug on Emmanuel Mudiay as the Knicks’ starting point guard.

After claiming he was rolling all the way...

Knicks point guard Jarrett Jack isn’t lobbying for the Knicks to hire Mark Jackson. He just knows some team should take that chance for next season. Jack told The Post he’s surprised Jackson hasn’t been scooped up after the Warriors fired him after their first-round, seven-game playoff elimination by the Clippers in 2014. Jack speaks...

ATLANTA — There’s going to come a time when the Knicks are going to have to roll up their sleeves, pound their chests, and say, “The hell with it. Let’s go.” There is no reward for the meek in the NBA. Patience is for priests. Maybe that means focusing every ounce of their energy on...

MIAMI — Nobody knows how much input Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek has now in deciding on the team’s starting point guard.

MIAMI — The Knicks won’t run the table. Their two-game win streak was snapped in South Beach as the playoff-bound Heat blew out the Knicks, 119-108, at AmericanAirlines Arena. Count it down as just 10 games remain to this melancholy campaign — and perhaps Jeff Hornacek’s coaching life. Worse than the defeat, the Knicks’ two...
