Phil Jackson says loss to Cavs 'gave basketball gods heartburn'
The Cavaliers dominated the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, which included a stellar 17-point performance from former Knicks guard J.R. Smith.
The final score, 101-83, was no indication of how badly the Knicks were crushed by LeBron & Co. It was 62-38 at halftime, and James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving had 39 points. The Knicks, on the other hand, missed all nine 3-point attempts in the first half.
After the game, Knicks president Phil Jackson took to Twitter to vent about his team's pitiful performance, tweeting that he believed it upset the "basketball gods":
While Phil is known for being hard on his team and is no stranger to expressing himself on social media, facing the red-hot Cavaliers is no easy feat. Cleveland is 35-22 and has been untouchable since returning from the All-Star break, hammering Washington by 38 on Friday and leading this one by 30 at one point.
Oh, and this also happened:
Think Phil and the Knicks are missing Smith now?
