Knicks second unit group shot black uniform
Thursday night offered the Knicks an opportunity to get back on track. After dropping back-to-back games against the Charlotte Hornets and Minnesota Timberwolves, the Knicks welcomed the 16-28 New Orleans Pelicans to The Garden.
But bad turned to worse on Thursday, as the Knicks had a putrid night all around, falling the Pelicans, 102-91.
“When things aren’t going your way, it’s easy to get sidetracked, it’s easy to get distracted in this league,” head coach Tom Thibodeau said afterwards. “That’s what we can’t do. We can’t place blame. We’ve got to work our way out of this, work our way out together.”

One of the most glaring stat sheet lines belonged to Julius Randle, who was a team worst -26, scoring four points on 1-of-9 shooting, though he did add six assists and seven rebounds.
