Mike Miller has passed first Knicks test: ‘He’s our leader now’

WASHINGTON — Knicks interim coach Mike Miller already has as many wins this season as his ousted predecessor, David Fizdale.

There’s a reason Knicks general manager Scott Perry, watching Friday’s practice at Georgetown University, was smiling a lot and schmoozing with several of the players individually.

Georgetown coach and Knicks legend Patrick Ewing dropped by to watch practice for 10 minutes and give his blessing. Ironically, it was Fizdale who arranged for the Knicks to practice at Georgetown ahead of Saturday’s game in Washington after reestablishing franchise relations with Ewing.

At the 10-game mark of Miller’s interim term, he is 4-6.
