There is this thing teams do in the NFL when they stage a practice on Friday only for them to dress in shorts and jerseys, goof around, run some soft drills, and complete a walkthrough before the real action happens on Sunday.
That’s pretty much what the New York Knicks did at MSG when they hosted the visiting Hornets in yesterday’s matinee, blasting them 129-107 in a no-contest, walkthrough-type game.
The sample size is still tiny, but it feels good to check the standings and find the Knicks having a 3-2 home record through the first nine games of the season and five matchups played inside MSG.
