It is a holy day of obligation in New York basketball and in the campus chapel at Villanova University: the Brooklyn Nets vs. the New York Knicks in the latest Battle of the Boroughs and Wildcat Renaissance.
But first, a look back at Monday night in Salt Lake City. Some games you win, some game you lose, some games you look for untethered objects to toss at high speed toward whatever platform that is providing you video of the Brooklyn Nets. It was not the worst loss ever. There’s quite a bit of competition for that accolade.
