The Knicks’ triangle is rising again, and so is Kurt Rambis: Coach Jeff Hornacek, who utilized a fast-paced, point-guards-everywhere offense in Phoenix, acknowledged Saturday that practices after the All-Star break contained a lot of triangle implementation. Knicks players, though, have not been counted as the stoutest triangle supporters. Point guard Derrick Rose, whom the Knicks tried to trade at the deadline, called it “random basketball.” -- New York Post

Some Carmelo advice helped Willy Hernangomez turn a corner: The mind is a terrible thing to use. At least when you should be reacting. Just ask Knicks rookie center Willy Hernangomez. With Joakim Noah expected to miss an eighth straight game with a sore left hamstring Monday when the Raptors invade the Garden, Hernangomez likely will get another start. He has done well, starting the last four games, averaging 27.9 minutes, 10.5 points and 9.5 rebounds while shooting 58.6 percent. -- New York Post

Triangle offense shaping up as Knicks’ plan again: Carmelo Anthony still doesn’t want to say the word triangle, but he will play in the triangle as long as he’s in a Knicks uniform.

With roster unchanged, Knicks change back to the triangle: The Knicks went through Thursday’s trade deadline with no changes. But if the roster wasn’t touched, there was a not-so-subtle change put into effect. After weeks of rumors about Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose’s place in the organization, when Knicks president Phil Jackson couldn’t move them he did put a change in place -- the return in full force of the triangle offense. -- The Record

Knicks struggling to kick habit of blowing big leads in fourth quarter: As the Knicks offense went cold down the stretch Saturday night, and a double-digit fourth-quarter lead over the Sixers dissipated in a matter of minutes, a familiar sense of dread swept over players and coaches, including Jeff Hornacek and Carmelo Anthony: Please, not again, they thought. -- New York Daily News
