PHOENIX — Arizona is filled with games this time of year, baseball spring training games scattered around various sunny locales in which the final score is barely remembered. So the meeting Wednesday night between the Knicks and Suns at Talking Stick Resort Arena fits right in.
The baseball spring training games are loaded with players for whom hope springs eternal and this game might have a faint hint of that, too. The Suns have six rookies on their roster. The Knicks have put their faith in their three rookies and belief that free agency and the upcoming NBA Draft will turn their fortunes.
