Mike Brown makes stance on Knicks' tantalizing young center clear vs. Pacers

After the New York Knicks' NBA Cup win on Tuesday, the entire team was exhausted. Their reward, aside from the prize money, was a stretch of three games in four nights. It began with their win over the Spurs and culminated with their Friday night loss to the 76ers, but there were lessons to be learned from Thursday's eventful win over the Pacers. Jalen Brunson's clutch heroics certainly saved the night. But head coach Mike Brown playing center Ariel Hukporti 27 minutes? That jumps off of the box score like the 23-year-old big man does, when going up for an alley-oop.
