\u201cIt\u2019s fun,\u201d Josh Hart said. \u201cKind of getting used to it now. Everywhere on the East Coast it\u2019s really Knick fans coming out and showing love. Boston is tough obviously. Everywhere else we feel like we always have the majority of the fans on the East Coast. Shoutout to them. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey come and show love and we appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jose Alvarado, who made his MSG debut in his hometown New York City on Tuesday, was serenaded like it was another homecoming. <\/p>\n
Chants of \u201cJose, Jose, Jose, Jose\u201d rang around the arena as he erupted in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see the fans, their energy is unmatched,\u201d Alvarado said. \u201cThey show their support, they\u2019re gonna use their voice and it gets me going, so I\u2019m gonna do the same energy back for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Knicks went into the All-Star break with their best representation of one of coach Mike Brown\u2019s core principles.<\/p>\n
They recorded 41 total assists Wednesday, the most they\u2019ve had in a game this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m blown away with our guys\u2019 ability to share the basketball with one another,\u201d Brown said. \u201cA lot of good playmakers, a lot of good passers, so to see that was a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hart led the way in that department with nine. All five starters had four or more.<\/p>\n
OG Anunoby\u2019s injury is a bit grosser than originally thought.<\/p>\n
He missed his fourth straight game, the last game before the All-Star break. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tThank you\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Knicks originally listed his ailment as right toe soreness, but earlier this week changed it to right toenail avulsion.<\/p>\n
Brown said before Wednesday\u2019s game that it\u2019s not expected to be a long-term problem after the All-Star break, designating him day to day.<\/p>\n
The 76ers were without Joel Embiid (knee) and Quentin Grimes (illness). <\/p>\n
And they still don\u2019t have Paul George, who is suspended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA \u2014 Xfinity Mobile Arena is truly Madison Square Garden South.
