ORLANDO – It’s not about how you start; it’s about how you finish.
For New York that old saying rang true on Tuesday as Ron Baker and the Knicks rallied back from a nine-point fourth-quarter Southwest Airlines Orlando Pro Summer League deficit to force overtime and eventually earn a 92-84 triumph over the Clippers.
Baker overcame a rough shooting start (1-for-7) by going a perfect 2-for-2 from the field and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe over the final 3:40 of the contest to help the Knicks pull out the win.
He also produced a series of hustle plays, including three crucial steals over the same stretch that proved to be instrumental in the victory.
