The guy has been great but today - forget the shooting, anybody is going to have a day like that - but some of those passes. We actually had point shaving allegations in our locker room after the game, I put the ball in his hands because have a great confidence in his ability to play off the dribble and make solid decisions. The solid decision part was not there today. But then again, he comes right back through in the end and hits the big one.”, Van Gundy said jokingly after the game.

We lost the first game of the month and the last game of the month. Any time you do that, I think that’s a sign of a young team maturing, you can’t win all of them. It’s an NBA season. We’d like to, but Utah played great tonight.”
