Knicks Extend Losing Streak to Six.

The Knicks have added another loss to their losing streak, courtesy of the Chicago Bulls. The Knicks, who have been struggling lately against mediocre and elite teams, ended the game with a score of 104-99. The game was close until the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The Knicks were on a run leaving them behind 95-90 with 2:07 left on the clock. This run came to an end when Joakim Noah tipped the ball away from Amare Stoudemire, during a jump ball, which gave Derrick Rose the opportunity for an easy layup. After this play, the Bulls were able to outplay the Knicks on offense and pull away with the win. In this game, turnovers were actually not a huge factor. The loss was mostly contributed by poor defense, which allowed Rose to finish the game with 32 points and 7 assists. Unfortunately the Knicks did not have any dynamic scoring from any of their players which made it much harder for them to keep up with the Bulls elite offense. The recent weapon for the Knicks, Jeremy Lin, has failed to provide a "jaw-dropping" performance once again. In his first few starts, Lin led his team to an impressive winning streak without Carmelo Anthony or Stoudemire. He would provide over 20 points and 10 assists a night which excited fans in New York, giving him the title "Lin-Sanity." Lately, the young point guard has been unable to live up to this title. In the past few games he has not been playing to his "star-point guard" standards. It seems as if the super star run, by Lin, has come to an end. Now many teams have learned how to defend him, resulting in his court vision and offense being negatively affected. At first, Lin saved coach Mike D'Antoni's job with the number of wins he added to the Knicks record. But now with this consistent poor performance, D'Antoni is hanging on to his coaching position by a thread.
