OAKLAND, Calif. — The Knicks are headed to the NBA Finals.
In making good on his campaign promise, Knicks coach David Fizdale has dispatched top assistant Keith Smart to Oracle Arena for Friday’s Game 4. He will bring along youngsters Kevin Knox, Allonzo Trier and end-of-season surprise, point guard Kadeem Allen, according to an NBA official.
Before the season finale, Fizdale said he hoped to have his assistants bring players to playoff games to get a taste of the electricity and high-pressure environment.
The foursome will attend Friday’s pivotal Finals match between the Warriors and Raptors, who lead the series 2-1.
