A fun and furious fourth-quarter comeback gave the New York Knicks a 100-93 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, their first home win since March 8th. Back then the catalysts included Julius Randle, Elfrid Payton and Wayne Ellington. This time the heroes were all 20-22 years old. The haters will point and cluck that this was a preseason win over a hub of scrubs, a Cavs team missing Kevin Love, Collin Sexton and Kevin Porter Jr., to which I cheerfully rejoin the Knicks didn’t play Nerlens Noel, Frank Ntilikina, Alec Burks, Walt Frazier or Patrick Ewing. It’s 10 degrees where I live and has been for days.
Knicks 100, Cavaliers 93: “The Kevin Knox quarter or the Immanuel Quickley game?”
