The old-school grit that backup point guard Brandon Jennings is trying to instill in the Knicks’ bench brigade was evident Wednesday night — and not just with his pressure defense and 11 assists.
During one sequence in the fourth quarter, rookie center Willy Hernangomez went to help up Rondae Hollis-Jefferson after he absorbed a hard foul from Mindaugas Kuzminskas.
As Hernangomez extended his hand, Jennings rushed over and pulled Hernangomez away. You don’t help up your opponents.
