Knicks Bulletin: ‘I just try to look at the positives’

Nothing better than a Game 7, amirite?

Actually, there’s something even better about today’s matchup, as the Knicks aren’t involved and will be just enjoying the bloodbath from afar!

Here’s the latest from Tarrytown as New York patiently waits to know its ECF foe.

On supporting Mikal Bridges amid benching questions:
