On Thursday afternoon, the New York Knicks inched closer to a playoff spot. That sentence seems like New York lunacy in 2019. But, in White Plains, it’s a refreshing reality and a sign of continued consistency in professional basketball.
Sure, it’s “only” the NBA G League. But with a parent organization desperate for any kind of positive basketball happenings, the performance of the Westchester Knicks is a rare silver lining.
Hosting local schoolchildren in a special late morning tip-off, Westchester topped the Windy City Bulls 127-118 at Westchester County Center. Jameel Warney led the way with 33 points, while Kadeem Allen posted a triple-double, earning 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists.
