New York Knicks Carmelo Anthony says team 'didn't even fight' in lopsided loss to Brooklyn Nets

A frustrated Carmelo Anthony said the New York Knicks failed to show fight in their 23-point loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.

"That's the only thing that kind of bothers me: Today we didn't even fight. I felt like we didn't fight as a team," Anthony said after the Knicks' 103-80 loss. "Them guys from the jump ball just came in and it felt like they owned us."

The Knicks were embarrassed in Monday's loss to their crosstown rivals, shooting just 34 percent from the field. They allowed the Nets to hit 49 percent of their shots.

"We couldn't get into defensive sets and [were] just scrambling and double-teaming and switching, basically just scrambling the whole game," Anthony said.

The Knicks have lost four straight and enter play Tuesday tied with Cleveland for 10th place in the Eastern Conference. They are on pace to win just 30 games.

"I didn't think we would be in this situation," said Anthony, who is expected to test free agency this summer. "I don't really know how to deal with situations like this. I'm learning. This is the first time for me."
