The Knicks played without Amar’e Stoudemire, Iman Shumpert and Jeremy Lin. As it turns out, they also played without Carmelo Anthony.

“We’re not moping around, hanging our heads,’’ said Anthony, who is shooting 34.4 percent in the series. “I won’t let them do that.’’

Several Knicks cleared out of the locker room quickly before reporters arrived — even typically accessible guys like Steve Novak and Landry Fields.

“Offensively, we just didn’t have it,’’ said interim coach Mike Woodson, who has now lost six straight playoff games by double-digits dating to his days with the Hawks. “We were so stagnant. I have to take the blame for it.’’
