After losing the past two games, the Westchester Knicks entered the NBA D-League Showcase with something to prove. Not only were the Knicks looking to get back in the win column, but the team was looking for the defense to step up.
After giving up an average of 107.0 points over their last two games, the Knicks’ defense needed to show signs of improvement.
Both teams almost mirrored the other’s production in first half. The big difference for the Erie BayHawks was Gabe York. York was draining threes at an efficient and quick rate.
In addition, he was displaying his ability to get to the rim and draw contact.
