The New York Knicks played today. They won today. You're welcome. The 'Bockers kicked off MSG's Blue Paint Era (The Sequel!) with a nice, clean 100-81 victory over Brazilian club Bauru Basket.
To the highlights!
- Cleanthony Early wasn't expected to play tonight after getting his wisdom teeth pulled. The kid needs to impress the coaching staff, though, if he wants a spot on this team. Hitting more half-court buzzer beaters like this would certainly help.
- Kyle O'Quinn did a little bit of everything in this game -- scoring, rebounding, block shots -- but we must not ignore his elite bench celebration.
