NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks traded their leading scorer Thursday and fired their president two days earlier.
During what should be a time of turbulence, they are playing some of their best basketball of the season.
“Everyone knows we have a job to do. We are still a team. We’ve still got to keep pushing,” rookie RJ Barrett said. “We’ve still got to play every day and do our jobs and we did that tonight.”
And they left Orlando coach Steve Clifford screaming at the referees at halfcourt and criticizing them afterward for what he said was a lack of awareness in not granting him a timeout on the final possession.
