Part 2/8:
In the game where the Knicks easily dominated the Hornets, Sims seemed out of sorts right from the start. Analysts noted a critical misstep when Sims failed to convert a layup under the basket and subsequently caused a turnover, which led to points for the opposing team. These errors put him under scrutiny, and culminated in Thibodeau making the decision to bench him for the remainder of the game.
