Knicks clearly left strong impression on Hawks
NY Post
The Knicks know the slate is wiped clean after defeating the Atlanta Hawks in all three meetings during the regular season, but those games clearly left a strong impression on their first-round playoff opponent.
There will be time for bad blood later, but Hawks coach Nate McMillan and his players were nothing but complimentary when asked about Tom Thibodeau, Julius Randle and the fourth-seeded Knicks during Tuesday’s media availability ahead of Sunday’s playoff opener at the Garden. McMillan, who posted a 27-11 record after taking over for fired coach Lloyd Pierce in March, acknowledged he sees the same defensive identity in this Knicks squad that he did with Thibodeau’s previous teams in Chicago and Minnesota.
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.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
