'Explicit' halftime talk leads Knicks to historic win against Toronto

15 minutes before the Knicks' historic 28-0 run on Wednesday, there was an explicit exchange in the locker room. Coach Jeff Hornacek wasn't happy with New York's effort on defense, and he wasn't shy about sharing his thoughts.

People will probably associate Hardaway with his $71 million contract for the foreseeable future. That's the way it goes in pro sports -- particularly in New York -- when you sign a large contract. (It's worth noting that the Knicks offered him the contract, so if you have an issue with Hardaway's cap hit, you should be angry with Knicks management, not Hardaway.) But no matter how you feel about the $71 million pact, there's no denying Hardaway has made a big impact for New York lately. The shooting guard is averaging 23.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists in his past five games.

Tim Hardaway Jr. is the first Knick with at least 38 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in a game since Patrick Ewing in March of 1991. The only other Knicks with at least 38/7/7 over the last 50 years are Bernard King and Walt Frazier.
