NY Post
PHILADELPHIA – You know who seems to be a little over the blossoming romance between New York City and the terrific troika of Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo, all products of the Knicks’ home-office basketball manufacturing center otherwise known as Villanova University?
Philadelphia is over it. That’s who.
Tuesday night, not long after the Knicks’ stunning 104-101 miracle comeback against the 76ers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Villanova’s official account on X tweeted this to its 206,500 followers: “Our guys @jalenbrunson1 and @Divincenzo with two HUGE 3s to seal a win in Game 2.” There was also a video of the epic sequence that sealed the game, showing both of those shots.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
Don’t close the curtain on “Mean” Joe Greene.
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
