Knicks and Nets Struggle Highlight New York Basketball Blues
New York pro basketball is split between a sinking Nets club and a star driven Knicks lineup. The Nets, last in the Atlantic Division, won a rare 95 86 game over the Bulls but remain described as a team lacking purpose. The Knicks, loaded with big salaries for McAdoo McMillen and other stars, struggle with too much passing and limited scoring as Philadelphia grows dominant.
