This evening, I almost missed the tip-off because I was caught up telling my teenaged, guitar-slinging son about Hüsker Dü. In the late nineties, I took a roadtrip to see their frontman Bob Mould on a double-bill with Archers of Loaf at the 9:30 Club. In D.C. Where the Knicks (8-5) won last night—Crap, the game!
The two teams competing in Charlotte tonight were both playing the second of a back-to-backs. The Hornets (3-8) lost last night to the Bucks; the Knicks had punched out the Wizards. Last Sunday, the Knicks beat the Bees convincingly, 129-107.
