GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Enes Kanter only became a Knick in September, but he cares about their past and is motivated by their negative history.
Considering how much of that the Knicks have, this could work out well for Kanter and his new team.
Kanter was extra amped when Cleveland visited the Garden last week because he remembered seeing LeBron James and other Cavaliers flipping bottles on the bench late in a blowout win last season. He felt it was “really disrespectful.”
Seeing a stat before Monday’s game that the Knicks hadn’t beaten the Clippers since 2012 also pumped up Kanter, who had 12 points and 16 rebounds in a 22-point victory.
