Superfan Lee to stay away from Garden
Spike Lee still has his courtside seat, though the Knicks had to tell their superfan to find another way to get there.
Lee said he won’t be sitting there the rest of this season, anyway.
The Oscar-winning writer-director told ESPN on Tuesday he wouldn’t be attending another Knicks home game this season after a disagreement with Madison Square Garden officials a night earlier over which elevator he could use.
“I’m done for the season. I’m done,” Lee said on the program “First Take” while wearing a Knicks hat.
LeVert goes off: Caris LeVert scored 37 of his career-high 51 points in the fourth quarter and overtime to help the Nets erase a 21-point, second-half deficit and beat the host Celtics 129-120 on Tuesday night.
LeVert had all of the Nets’ 11 points in the extra period, finishing just three points shy of the Nets’ season high for a player. Kyrie Irving scored 54 points against the Bulls on Jan. 31.
Curry getting closer:
Warriors coach Steve Kerr was encouraged by the feedback from Santa Cruz after Steph Curry scrimmaged with the team’s G League affiliate on Monday, and said a return Thursday against the Raptors is “definitely a possibility.”
