A dark cloud is hovering above Madison Square Garden these days — at least when the Knicks are in action.
The building has become a house of horrors for Tom Thibodeau’s team. Saturday afternoon was the latest example, an abject second-half no-show in which the previously struggling Mavericks treated the Garden like their own personal playground.
The Knicks were outscored 41-15 in an embarrassing third quarter that refused to end, and have lost seven of the last eight at home. They are now three games under .500 at 10-13, their low-water mark of the season. At one point, the Mavericks had 50 of the total 70 points scored, and the large crowd let the home team hear their displeasure with thunderous boos.
Julius Randle followed up a 21-point first half with just three after the break. RJ Barrett and Brunson each had 13. Thibodeau mercifully emptied his bench early in the fourth quarter with the result well in hand and the Cavaliers in town on Sunday for the second game of a back-to-back.
