The New York Knicks took home a win in their preseason opener on Thursday in Abu Dhabi, and Miles McBride was the surprise standout of the day. New York secured the victory 99-84 over their Eastern Conference rival Philadelphia 76ers, and plenty of developments both positive and negative came out of this one.
Here, we'll look at a few of the biggest winners and losers of the day.
Winner: Miles McBride
The fifth-year guard had himself a day against the 76ers. Deuce scored a team-high 12 points on 5-for-7 shooting in 21 minutes of action. This was a highly encouraging outing for a guy who is very much a Knicks fan favorite.
