The New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks will square off tonight to punch their tickets to Las Vegas and the Final Four of the first-ever In-Season Tournament.
Expanding on Julius Randle’s comments made on Monday about having to face a stronger opponent in Milwaukee instead of a lesser squad had the Knicks failed to qualify for the IST Quarterfinals as the wild-card team, Tom Thibodeau sounded as happy as he’s ever done ahead of today’s game.
“I think you have to choose how you want to frame it in your own mind, and I like to think of the positive of it,” Thibodeau said.
