OAKLAND, Calif. — Knicks forward Kevin Knox didn’t get to see his idol Kevin Durant, but he got a taste of what the NBA Finals is about.
Knox, the Knicks’ 2018 lottery pick, attended Friday’s Game 4 at frenzied Oracle Arena.
In a red hoodie, Knox sat in the 100-level section with fellow rookie Allonzo Trier and assistant coach Keith Smart, who lives in the Bay area. Knicks coach David Fizdale believes it is important for his young players to feel the playoff vibe.
Following the Raptors’ 105-92 victory over the Warriors, Knox said he learned from the experience.
