New York Knicks

The Knicks lost to the Orlando Magic 133-121 Saturday, failing to cover as a 2-point road underdog. The Over (230.5) cashed. G Jalen Brunson scored a team-high 33 points on 12-for-21 shooting. New York has alternated wins and losses over its last 6 games, going 2-4 against the spread (ATS) in that span. It is 8-7 ATS on the season. The Knicks beat the Nets 134-98 at home Nov. 9, 2025, the last time these teams met. New York covered as a 15.5-point favorite as the Over (227) cashed.

The event was much anticipated as blood sport, a showdown between a young communist and an old despot, to use their favored insults for each other. Instead, the two men put on such a show of good manners that at times I had to laugh out loud at the stagecraft. After a closed-door meeting, Trump and Mamdani summoned the press, and there was Uncle Donnie seated behind his desk in the Oval Office, beaming as his favorite nephew, Zohran, stood by his right shoulder

The Miami Heat have hit their first bit of adversity this season, coming off two straight losses while the team patiently awaits the returns from their All-Star duo of Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. Although they are making progress, the Heat need to prepare for a little while longer without them. Their depth needs to prove that they can keep things afloat in the meantime, and they are in a perfect opportunity to bounce back for Monday night's matchup.

Jack Hu, an organizer of the anti-casino movement and lifelong resident of Flushing, alleged the committee only voted in support of the casino because members "took lobbying dollars from Metropolitan Park." He said the developer "manufactured consent" from the committee and made it appear as though the community is fully in support of the casino despite the overwhelming opposition demonstrated during the Nov. 16 protest.

I'm just appreciative of wherever I came from. [Brooklyn was] just one stepping stone where I was at before I was here. So just appreciative,

Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that Mayor Eric Adams was planning to stack the Rent Guidelines Board with a bevy of his own appointees on his way out of office in an effort to block Zohran Mamdani's agenda to freeze rent for rent-stabilized tenants. Then, on Friday afternoon, the New York Post reported that one board appointee Adams was considering was Eleonora Srugo, the Douglas Elliman luxury real estate agent, Adams confidante, and star of the first (and only) season of the Netflix reality show "Selling the City."

"There is no way Curtis Sliwa can actually win. Curtis Sliwa can only make Zohran Mamdani win," Cuomo said, recalling President Trump's brutal prognosis of the Guardian Angels founder's chances in the Nov. 4 election. "Don't believe me. Believe President Trump if you're a Republican" Cuomo told voters at the Ocean View Cafe, a Ukrainian restaurant on Brighton Beach Avenue. "President Trump said Curtis Sliwa is not ready for prime time."

"He has versatility, toughness on both ends of the floor," Brown said. "He can [make plays] for himself and others. Gets us organized. "He had a really good game defensively [Friday] night for the most part, and then during the first stretch, he was really good offensively. In the second half, he wasn't as good. But he's a young guy and he's going to learn and grow from any minutes that he gets."

Early voting kicks off Saturday in the general election-the culmination of what's been a dramatic 2025 race for the city's next mayor, where much of the conversation has centered around housing and affordability.

ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. - A 37-year-old man died Tuesday after being injured in a crash on Oct. 3, Nassau County police say. The man has been identified as Queens resident Kwabena Awuku, police said.

Brewster's No Kings rally Saturday drew more than 4,000 people, bringing almost twice as many protesters to GOP Representative Mike Lawler's district than its June event in Mount Kisco did. It was the largest rally in Brewster's history. Nationally, rally co-organizer Indivisible announced that these events drew 7 million people, also twice the June number. I'd say Lawler should be a bit nervous.

The Knicks are stocked with talent but also are laden with expectations with fans desperate for the team to make the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. The Knicks could take a minute or two to adjust to coach Mike Brown's fast-paced offense, but as long as Jalen Brunson remains healthy, they have a solid chance of coming out of the East.
