NBA New York Knicks Vs Brooklyn Nets – Game Day Preview: Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Just like Christmas Day it has become a tradition for the New York Knicks to take the court on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.    On MLK day they hold a 19-12 overall record and have played at Madison Square Garden every year since 1987.  Today at 3:00 PM the New York Knicks will dawn road uniforms for the 1st time.  

Last year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day the New York Knicks led the Philadelipha 76ers by 18 points in the third quarter, but Philadelphia came storming back and took a three-point lead with under one minute remaining in the fourth.  Carmelo Anthony drained a clutch 3-pointer over Nerlens Noel with 3.4 seconds left in the game to force overtime.  One overtime wasn’t enough in this thriller but the Knicks were finally able to pull away in double OT, winning 119-113.

Who know if we will get that same level of entertainment when the ball gets tipped.
