Trey Burke’s bright play gives Knicks new point guard puzzle

SALT LAKE CITY – It was like old times – Tim and Trey back together winning games, like they did at Michigan.

Do the Knicks now have a point-guard controversy following the Utah nailbiter?

As rookie Frank Ntilikina and Jarrett Jack sat and Kemba Walker counts his days in Charlotte, newly signed Trey Burke became the floor leader during the final 9:45 in contributing to a rare road win Friday in Utah.

The chemistry between Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. is already there and they combined for 13 fourth-quarter points. Burke admitted Hardaway’s presence was a top reason he joined the Knicks’ training camp in the final days – and he agreed to polish himself at G League Westchester waiting for his moment.
