GREENBURGH, N.Y. — The atmosphere for practice Saturday afternoon was as close as the Knicks could get to mimicking a real game at Madison Square Garden. While players finished up what was the longest practice of the year with free throw shooting drills, crowd noise was pumped into their practice facility and they even had their version of celebrity row with rapper J Cole sitting courtside watching.
But the important question is whether the work will translate to a real game and it has not so far this season.
