Last Night's Action: Woeful, Woeful West
- Jazz 100, Knicks 89: In a departure from their behavior in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, the Knicks didn't have a lead to squander in this one. They have lost the first three games of this five-game swing against playoff-caliber teams from the Western Conference. Their strategy -- let Jamal Crawford shoot as much as possible -- doesn't seem to be working. They couldn't play defense and fell victim to Utah's. To have 19 turnovers is borderline inexcusable.
This was a shorthanded and tired team. Renaldo Balkman missed the game for his elbow in Tuesday's game against L.A. Eddy Curry and Quentin Richardson have the flu. The rest of the team is just sick of losing.
