While warming up before making his only appearance at Madison Square Garden this season, John Wall spotted movie director and New York Knicks super fan Spike Lee decked out in orange and blue. Wall gave him a hug. “You’ve been killing it,” Wall said Lee told him.
Wall had been waiting for an opportunity to showcase how much he has improved since his last visit to the Garden nearly a year ago. And with a near-capacity crowd anxious to see the home team extend its winning streak to 13 games and clinch its first Atlantic Division title in 19 years, Wall did steal occasional cheers with his ability to zip past defenders for layups and dunks.
