Enes Kanter is being asked to take a seat again, and he isn’t happy about it. Knicks head coach David Fizdale opted to send the center to the bench in favor of the unheralded Luke Kornet, according to reports from Milwaukee ahead of Thursday night’s game, a rematch with the Bucks. When the news...

Giannis Antetokounmpo starred again at the Garden but never had an opportunity to perform his rendition of the Nutcracker.

Mario Hezonja didn’t get a chance to prove the Bucks’ website editors wrong. Knicks coach David Fizdale did not play Hezonja in the Bucks’ 109-95 Christmas rout of the Knicks, the second straight game he didn’t play.

The Knicks became the tomato cans of Christmas — not belonging on the NBA’s grand stage with their 9-26 record and potential superstar still sidelined another two months.

Tis’ the season of giving and the Knicks are very generous.

The Knicks are on the NBA’s annual Christmas schedule on the basis of tradition. The Bucks are there on merit — a rising Eastern Conference contender powered by a lanky, unstoppable MVP candidate. That’s the Knicks’ benchmark. Tuesday’s holiday matinee at the Garden showed just how much ground they have to make up. The Knicks...
