Charles Oakley believes it’s the Knicks’ responsibility to come to him and he’s only concerned with clearing his record

Kristaps Porzingis, a fan of the triangle offense, scored 20 points in his return to the court from an ankle injury on Wednesday.

This Texas college coach hasn’t seen Golden State in person. But he knows good basketball, and his team has mimicked the Warriors to perfection.

In a perfect world, the Knicks would steam into free agency this summer and land one of the primo point guards at the top of the heap, a Steph Curry, Chris Paul or Kyle Lowry.

PHILADELPHIA — Derrick Rose has a personal game plan for the playoffs.

Derrick Rose has a philosophy now with the triangle, a system still like a foreign language to the point guard: “Don’t F’ it up.”
