NEW YORK _ At Madison Square Garden, where there rarely is missed an opportunity to refer to it as "The World's Most Famous Arena," has become known for this season mostly as the place where the Knicks lose almost every night.
The Knicks had tried different lineups, a variety of strategies, but they had found no answers for nearly three full months, losing 18 consecutive games at home dating back to Dec. 1. And Knicks coach David Fizdale was asked if he was trying to find something that would change their fortunes.
"Incense? Sage?" Fizdale said before the game _ most likely joking, but when the streak reaches these depths it's hard to rule out anything. "I've done different stuff, but I like to keep that internal. We've done different stuff but that's not really what it comes down to. We've just got to get better and we've got to do our jobs better when we're out there. Execute the detail, communicate, fly around for 48 minutes."
