On the other hand, a win would […]
Tonight at the Spectrum Center, the New York Knicks (11-6) routed the Charlotte Hornets (4-14) behind swarming defense, relentless rim pressure, and sizzling shooting.

What a disappointing result for the club. The UCL nights are supposed to be a special occasion and this severely rotated squad was anything but.
