Trey Burke, now a point guard with the 76ers, made his first appearance at the Garden on Friday since being traded to the Mavericks with Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Courtney Lee in late January.
In the week following the trade, Burke said, the four of them grew closer.
“Me, KP, Tim, Courtney, it was all four of us and we had a week to ourselves to transition to Dallas and throughout that time, we got to know each other more,’’ Burke told The Post in the Garden’s visitors’ locker room before the Sixers rallied from 16 down to snatch a 101-95 victory from the Knicks.
