Knicks back in the New York groove after splashing Spurs

NEW YORK - This Broadway smash even made news on Hollywood's big night.

Hey, when the Knicks win a home game, Spike Lee needs to know. Even if he's across the country at the Academy Awards, busy getting his own big victory.

So when the Knicks snapped their franchise-record losing streak at Madison Square Garden at 18 games by beating the San Antonio Spurs 130-118 on Sunday night, actor Samuel L. Jackson made the announcement from on stage to Lee, who was in the audience on the night his film BlacKkKlansman won the award for adapted screenplay.
