ATLANTA — Leon Rose was seated at center court for the performance Tuesday in Washington, watching Frank Ntilikina play what might have been the best game of his three-year career, and then he stood against a railing, watching below as the 21-year-old point guard conducted his postgame interview, describing the steps he was taking that got him to this night.
Ntilikina scored 20 points and handed out 10 assists, becoming the youngest player in Knicks history to hit those milestones on the same night.
