“We’re still trying to win games. I know a lot of people think otherwise. It’s not in our DNA to go out there and lay down.”
Those words were uttered by an unlikely source—backup point guard Trey Burke—following the Knicks’ 120-113 win over the Orlando Magic. Going forward, the 25-year-old Burke probably isn’t going to get the kind of burn that will be handed to the 21-year-old Emmanuel Mudiay (who started his first game as a Knick) or the 19-year-old Frank Ntilikina. And that is probably right.
