The New York Knicks spoiled LeBron James' "homecoming" on Wednesday, putting together an impressive effort up and down the roster to defeat the Cleveland Cavs 95-90 in Northeast Ohio.
“I thought about how fortunate I am to be in this situation in life where you go to work and this many people are excited about what’s going to happen on the court,’’ Fisher said of the buzz surrounding Thursday's game, via Marc Berman of the New York Post. “It was a fun night, and obviously we feel better about getting the win, but we’ll enjoy it for a few hours and by the time we get back into the city, we’ll get ready for Charlotte."
Huge underdogs heading into Thursday's contest, Derek Fisher says his Knicks team displayed its togetherness in what could stand as a signature win for months to come.
“We showed a high level of trust and confidence in each other,’’ Fisher said. “If they just execute the basic things we’ve been teaching them and working on, things will work out. We showed a lot of patience and composure and those are the things that we need as we move through this season."
"We won’t always play perfect and win games going away, so to be able to win a close game on the road this early in the season is a good way for us to get back to work and start looking ahead to Charlotte.’’
