NBA

The New York Knicks were already making plans for a trip to Las Vegas after learning they had advanced to the quarterfinals of the NBA In-Season Tournament. Their destination is actually Milwaukee, where they would need a victory over the Bucks to reach the Final Four in Vegas.  Even the players are still learning how the NBA’s new event works.  Julius Randle had 25 points and 20 rebounds, RJ Barrett scored 16 points and the Knicks advanced to the knockout stage with a 115-91 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night.   Donovan Mitchell and the Cavaliers did everything in their power to stay in the NBA In-Season Tournament.  Once again, the New York Knicks did more.  Mitchell scored 40 points, Evan Mobley added 17, a career-high 19 rebounds and seven blocks as Cleveland completed pool play in the inaugural tourney with a 128-105 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night.
