NEW YORK, March 16 (UPI) -- Tyson Chandler got New York off to a good start Friday and the Knicks recorded their second straight one-sided victory, 115-100 over Indiana.
New York had lost six in a row prior to Coach Mike D'Antoni's resignation Wednesday. The Knicks went out later that day and blasted Portland, which led to a coaching change for the Trail Blazers.
