The Westchester Knicks returned home following a long West Coast road trip and put a hurting on the Salt Lake City Stars, 98-83. You gotta love the defensive effort, holding SLC well below 90 points.
Leading the charge as always was guard Trey Burke. The Michigan alum dropped 28 points on the Stars in celebration of his second consecutive G-League Player of the Week award.
