The Dubs needed that sort of a morale boost and the Knicks did all they could to ensure that - no double teaming Steph early to make him give up the ball (which the Dubs ain't been able to do sucessfully), not leaving Ezeli/Bogut open and stayin' in the paint, shooting like first graders. With all due respect, it's just an old team that isn't going anywhere... And from what I saw the Dubs ran some simple nice early offense - be it high pick 'n' roll, isolation or just taking an open shot, nothing spectacular, but efficient. with Chandler being offensive non-threat, 'Melo banged up and their threes not falling.
