From the New York Post‘s Brian Lewis: Lionel Hollins has offered pointed critiques [...]

Oh, what could have been. Ahead of the Knicks’ loss to the Rockets on Monday night, Carmelo Anthony—who left the game with back spasms—admitted that Dwight Howard, who didn’t even play, tried really hard to get him to sign in Houston.
