卡彭特、施罗德回归参加 MSG 比赛

纽约—— 周六晚上,当纽约塞壬队在麦迪逊广场花园满座观众面前击球时,这将成为 PWHL 历史上的一个里程碑式时刻。

周六下午纽约游骑兵队和底特律红翼队之间的冰球比赛八小时后,塞壬队将在 MSG 举办 PWHL 首场比赛,主场迎战西雅图激流队。

“我认为这将是令人惊奇的。这个日期已经在我们的日历上圈了很长时间了,”塞壬队候补队长莎拉·菲利尔在周二的训练中说道。 “我认为这是一个标志性的地方,一座标志性的城市,所以仅仅代表它并成为这里的第一场职业女子曲棍球比赛 – 这将是令人兴奋的。”

The Garden 于 2021 年 2 月举办了 PWHPA Dream Gap Tour 比赛,但由于 COVID-19 大流行而对球迷关闭。周六将是在 MSG 举行的第一场有球迷出席的职业女子曲棍球比赛。

周二早上,塞壬队在花园冰上进行了练习,并确保沉浸在这种体验中。

“这太疯狂了,”菲利尔事后说道。 “很多女孩只是抬头看着横幅、大屏幕和所有东西,还有椽子上的名字。这里有太多的历史。”

纽约尼克斯队和流浪者队传奇人物的球衣号码悬挂在花园的环形顶棚上,旁边悬挂着 1940 年、1970 年、1973 年和 1994 年的冠军横幅。让您的目光流连忘返,向该场馆最具标志性的音乐表演者致敬——从比利·乔尔 (Billy Joel) 到哈利·斯泰尔斯 (Harry Styles) 和菲什 (Phish)——就会映入眼帘。

“这很难用语言来表达。真的。”塞壬队教练格雷格·法戈周二说道。 “我在这里的时候非常幸运,能够去一些很棒的场馆,参观不真实的人群。但我认为没有什么可以与麦迪逊广场花园相比。它属于自己的类别。只是这里发生的事情的历史,从曲棍球比赛到更远的地方——我认为周六晚上来到这里是女子曲棍球运动的另一个重要里程碑,让我们能够展示它现在的情况。”

很少有故事情节比前海妖亚历克斯·卡彭特和现效力于西雅图的科琳·施罗德的回归更具有分量。两人在 PWHL 的前两个赛季中都在纽约表现出色,但在 2025 年扩展选秀中却没有得到保护。周六,他们自上个休赛期离开以来首次来到纽约市场。

但在所有的兴奋之中,纽约队的季后赛希望仍然悬而未决。塞壬队距离季后赛席位还差五分,并且无力在积分榜上留下分数,尤其是对阵垫底的激流队。

“此时此刻,我们正在努力赢得一切可能的胜利,”菲利尔周三在允许塞壬队通过加时赛获胜后说道。 “还有什么比味精更好的赌注呢?”

卡彭特和施罗德将在 MSG 受到“热烈欢迎”

经过一个以人员流动为标志的休赛期后,几位前塞壬已经在 2025-26 赛季重返三州地区。每一次,球迷们都张开双臂欢迎他们回来。

“只是在热身阶段,看到了我们以及来到冰场尽头的人们的所有迹象,只是为了向我们第一次回来打个招呼或致​​敬。这真的很特别,”前塞壬队前锋艾比·罗克在 2025 年 PWHL 选秀期间被交易到蒙特利尔胜利队后在保德信中心的第一场比赛后说道。 “我非常感谢粉丝和塞壬向我们致敬。”

卡彭特和施罗德预计会受到类似的接待——他们会在花园冰上得到这样的接待。

“我很高兴他们有机会在 MSG 踢球,”Sirens 候补队长 Jaime Bourbonnais 周二表示。 “他们和我一起在这里待了两年,是我的好朋友,所以他们也有机会在这里比赛,这很特别。我不喜欢和他们比赛,但很高兴见到他们。”

施罗德在塞壬队的首个赛季中取得了 0.930 的扑救率,并在 2024-25 赛季以四次封堵领先联盟。卡彭特在纽约担任了两个赛季的候补队长,他在 2024 年拿下 23 分(8 粒进球、15 次助攻)——在联盟中并列第二,仅次于娜塔莉·斯普纳(27 分)。卡彭特以 43 分(19 球,24 助攻)成为球队历史得分手,后来在 3 月份被菲利尔超越。

“施罗德和卡普在这里的两年里为塞壬队付出了很多。他们是去年的关键球员,”菲利尔回忆道。 “这就是为什么他们会被纳入扩张——我们联盟中最好的两名球员。所以我认为球迷会热烈欢迎他们。”

“但是,你知道,我们很乐意看到他们输给味精,”菲利尔笑着补充道。

周二,塞壬队没有乘坐公交车去训练,而是选择乘坐地铁前往麦迪逊广场。

波旁内说,对于经常乘坐地铁的塞壬来说,这并不是完全陌生的地方。但菲利尔和波旁尼都承认,把它带到味精有不同的感觉。

“我觉得我过着有点虚假的生活,你知道,来到纽约打曲棍球,”菲利尔指出。 “这很酷。即使你走出去看到宾州车站,也很棒。”

“感觉就像 [William] 尼兰德正在前往多伦多观看比赛的路上。”来自安大略省米西索加的波旁尼笑着说道。

法戈保证,地铁之旅不仅仅是为了球员。

“教练们的时间是 6 分 45 秒 [a.m] 一起训练到达这里,所以我们也以这种方式浸泡这一切。”

塞壬对德尼萨·克里佐娃有“很大的信心和信任”

纽约队从明尼苏达弗罗斯特队得到了前锋德尼萨·克里佐瓦(Denisa Křízová),以换取后卫金西·罗塞(Jincy Roese)。周三,她首次亮相 Sirens,在冰场时间 10 分 42 秒内打出两支安打,最终以 4-3 加时赛战胜了前 Frost 队。

“过去 48 小时里发生了很多事情。在整个国家移动绝对不容易,”克里佐娃赛后分享道。 “但我在这里受到了非常热烈的欢迎。这是一支伟大的球队。我一直不喜欢与他们比赛,因为他们是非常勤奋的球队。很高兴来到这里。”

塞壬队很高兴拥有这位捷克人,尤其是顶级前锋泰勒·吉拉德和克里斯蒂娜·卡尔图恩科娃都在长期伤病预备队(LTIR)中。

“我们将让她担任一个可以为进攻做出贡献的角色,”法戈周二表示。

周三,她在纽约的第二线比赛,与克里斯汀·奥尼尔和佩廷·李维斯一起在左翼滑冰。

对于克里佐瓦来说,2025-26 赛季是相当平静的赛季,他在 2024-25 赛季在明尼苏达队的进球数(4 个)和得分(9 分)创下了职业生涯新高。这位31岁的球员本赛季在24场比赛中打进1球,得到5分,投篮命中率仅为3.2%。

但法戈认为克里佐瓦非常适合纽约的体系。

“我认为丹妮莎KO了佩廷,度过了一个非常美好的夜晚。很高兴看到我们的前锋团队产生了化学反应,这在今年很难找到,”法戈在周三获胜后说道。 “在很短的时间内,我们很容易就能看到她在冰上、冰下的老将风范。她处理冰球的能力。她有能力用冰球打出五英尺、十英尺的小球,这让其他人变得更好,并帮助我们延长比赛时间。”

由于吉拉德将缺席本赛季余下的比赛,卡尔图文科娃将缺席至少两周,塞壬队致力于让克里佐娃担任主要角色。

“随着她继续变得更加舒适,我很高兴看到她能做些什么,”法戈继续说道。 “但我们对她充满信心。”

法戈还强调了克里佐瓦作为明尼苏达州两届沃尔特杯冠军的冠军血统。

“我认为这是一支以前从未进入过季后赛的球队所面临的挑战——要知道如何才能到达那里,”法戈周二解释道。

克里佐瓦是 Sirens 组织中仅有的三名具有 PWHL 季后赛经验的球员之一,另外两位是奥尼尔和克莱尔·德乔治。她参加的 18 场季后赛是全队最多的。

“我认为德尼萨可以在那些时刻为我们提供一些领导力,”法戈补充道。 “拥有这样一个曾经做过这件事、在短暂的职业生涯中取得如此巨大成功的人,是一种令人平静的存在。”

卡彭特、施羅德回歸參加 MSG 比賽

紐約—— 週六晚上,當紐約塞壬隊在麥迪遜廣場花園滿座觀眾面前擊球時,這將成為 PWHL 歷史上的里程碑時刻。

在紐約遊騎兵隊和底特律紅翼隊之間的冰球比賽週六下午八小時後,塞壬隊將在 MSG 舉辦 PWHL 首場比賽,主場迎戰西雅圖激流隊。

「我認為這將是令人驚奇的。這個日期已經在我們的日曆上圈了很長時間了,」塞壬隊候補隊長莎拉·菲利爾在周二的訓練中說道。 “我認為這是一個標誌性的地方,一個標誌性的城市,所以僅僅代表它並成為這裡的第一場職業女子曲棍球比賽 – 這將是令人興奮的。”

The Garden 於 2021 年 2 月舉辦了 PWHPA Dream Gap Tour 比賽,但由於 COVID-19 大流行而對球迷關閉。週六將是在 MSG 舉行的第一場有球迷出席的職業女子曲棍球比賽。

週二早上,塞壬隊在花園冰上進行了練習,並確保沉浸在這種體驗中。

「這太瘋狂了,」菲利爾事後說。 “很多女孩只是抬頭看著橫幅、大屏幕和所有東西,還有椽子上的名字。這裡有太多的歷史。”

紐約尼克隊和流浪者隊傳奇人物的球衣號碼懸掛在花園的環形頂棚上,旁邊懸掛著 1940 年、1970 年、1973 年和 1994 年的冠軍橫幅。讓您的目光流連忘返,向該場館最具標誌性的音樂表演者致敬——從比利·喬爾 (Billy Joel) 到哈利·斯泰爾斯 (Harry Styles) 和菲什 (Phish)——就會映入眼簾。

「這很難用語言來表達。真的。」塞壬隊教練格雷格·法戈週二說道。 「我在這裡的時候非常幸運,能夠去一些很棒的場館,參觀不真實的人群。但我認為沒有什麼可以與麥迪遜廣場花園相比。它屬於自己的類別。只是這裡發生的事情的歷史,從曲棍球比賽到更遠的地方——我認為週六晚上來到這裡是女子曲棍球運動的另一個重要里程碑,讓我們能夠展示它現在的情況。」

很少有故事情節比前海妖亞歷克斯·卡彭特和現效力於西雅圖的科琳·施羅德的回歸更具分量。兩人在 PWHL 的前兩個賽季都在紐約表現出色,但在 2025 年擴展選秀中沒有得到保護。週六,他們自上個休賽期離開以來首次來到紐約市場。

但在所有的興奮之中,紐約隊的季後賽希望仍然懸而未決。塞壬隊距離季後賽席位還差五分,並且無力在積分榜上留下分數,尤其是對陣墊底的激流隊。

「此時此刻,我們正在努力贏得一切可能的勝利,」菲利爾週三在允許塞壬隊通過加時賽獲勝後說道。 “還有什麼比味精更好的賭注呢?”

卡彭特和施羅德將在 MSG 受到“熱烈歡迎”

經過一個以人員流動為標誌的休賽期後,幾位前塞壬已經在 2025-26 賽季重返三州地區。每一次,球迷們都張開雙臂歡迎他們回來。

「只是在熱身階段,看到了我們以及來到冰場盡頭的人們的所有跡象,只是為了向我們第一次回來打個招呼或致​​敬。這真的很特別,」前塞壬隊前鋒艾比·羅克在 2025 年 PWHL 選秀期間被交易到蒙特利爾勝利隊後在保德信中心的第一場比賽後說道。 “我非常感謝粉絲和塞壬向我們致敬。”

卡彭特和施羅德預計會受到類似的接待——他們會在花園冰上得到這樣的接待。

「我很高興他們有機會在 MSG 踢球,」Sirens 候補隊長 Jaime Bourbonnais 週二表示。 “他們和我一起在這裡待了兩年,是我的好朋友,所以他們也有機會在這裡比賽,這很特別。我不喜歡和他們比賽,但很高興見到他們。”

施羅德在塞壬隊的首個賽季中取得了 0.930 的撲救率,並在 2024-25 賽季以四次封鎖領先聯盟。卡彭特在紐約擔任了兩個賽季的候補隊長,他在 2024 年拿下 23 分(8 粒進球、15 次助攻)——在聯盟中並列第二,僅次於娜塔莉·斯普納(27 分)。卡彭特以 43 分(19 球,24 次助攻)成為球隊歷史得分手,後來在 3 月被菲利爾超越。

「施羅德和卡普在這裡的兩年裡為塞壬隊付出了很多。他們是去年的關鍵球員,」菲利爾回憶道。 “這就是為什麼他們會被納入擴張——我們聯盟中最好的兩名球員。所以我認為球迷會熱烈歡迎他們。”

「但是,你知道,我們很樂意看到他們輸給味精,」菲利爾笑著補充道。

週二,塞壬隊沒有搭乘公車去訓練,而是選擇搭乘地鐵前往麥迪遜廣場。

波旁內說,對於經常搭乘地鐵的塞壬來說,這並不是完全陌生的地方。但菲利爾和波旁內都承認,把它帶到味精有不同的感覺。

「我覺得我過著有點虛假的生活,你知道,來到紐約打曲棍球,」菲利爾指出。 “這很酷。即使你走出去看到賓州車站,也很棒。”

「感覺就像 [William] 尼蘭德正在前往多倫多觀看比賽的路上。 」來自安大略省密西索加的波旁尼笑著說。

法戈保證,地鐵之旅不僅僅是為了球員。

「教練們的時間是 6 分 45 秒 [a.m] 一起訓練到達這裡,所以我們也以這種方式浸泡這一切。 」

塞壬對德尼薩·克里佐娃有“很大的信心和信任”

紐約隊從明尼蘇達弗羅斯特隊得到了前鋒德尼薩·克里佐瓦(Denisa Křízová),以換取後衛金西·羅塞(Jincy Roese)。週三,她首次亮相 Sirens,在冰場時間 10 分 42 秒內打出兩支安打,最終以 4-3 加時賽戰勝了前 Frost 隊。

「過去 48 小時裡發生了很多事情。在整個國家移動絕對不容易,」克里佐娃賽後分享道。 “但我在這裡受到了非常熱烈的歡迎。這是一支偉大的球隊。我一直不喜歡與他們比賽,因為他們是非常勤奮的球隊。很高興來到這裡。”

塞壬隊很高興擁有這位捷克人,尤其是頂級前鋒泰勒·吉拉德和克里斯蒂娜·卡爾圖恩科娃都在長期傷病預備隊(LTIR)中。

「我們將讓她擔任一個可以為進攻做出貢獻的角色,」法戈週二表示。

週三,她在紐約的第二線比賽,與克里斯汀·奧尼爾和佩廷·李維斯一起在左翼滑冰。

對於克里佐瓦來說,2025-26 賽季是相當平靜的賽季,他在 2024-25 賽季在明尼蘇達的進球數(4 個)和得分(9 分)創下了職業生涯新高。這位31歲的球員本賽季在24場比賽中打進1球,得到5分,投籃命中率僅3.2%。

但法戈認為克里佐瓦非常適合紐約的體系。

「我認為丹妮莎KO了佩廷,度過了一個非常美好的夜晚。很高興看到我們的前鋒團隊產生了化學反應,這在今年很難找到,」法戈在周三獲勝後說道。 「在很短的時間內,我們很容易就能看到她在冰上、冰下的老將風範。她處理冰球的能力。她有能力用冰球打出五英尺、十英尺的小球,這讓其他人變得更好,並幫助我們延長比賽時間。”

由於吉拉德將缺席本賽季剩餘的比賽,卡爾圖文科娃將缺席至少兩週,塞壬隊致力於讓克里佐娃擔任主要角色。

「隨著她繼續變得更加舒適,我很高興看到她能做些什麼,」法戈繼續說道。 “但我們對她充滿信心。”

法哥也強調了克里佐瓦作為明尼蘇達州兩屆沃爾特杯冠軍的冠軍血統。

「我認為這是一支以前從未進入過季後賽的球隊所面臨的挑戰——要知道如何才能到達那裡,」法戈週二解釋道。

克里佐瓦是 Sirens 組織中僅有的三名具有 PWHL 季後賽經驗的球員之一,另外兩位是奧尼爾和克萊爾·德喬治。她參加的 18 場季後賽是全隊最多的。

「我認為德尼薩可以在那些時刻為我們提供一些領導力,」法哥補充道。 “擁有這樣一個曾經做過這件事、在短暫的職業生涯中取得如此巨大成功的人,是一種令人平靜的存在。”

魔鬼队在 MSG 输给流浪者队

在过去两个赛季的大部分时间里,新泽西魔鬼队一直统治着他们的哈德逊对手纽约游骑兵队。

但流浪者队最终在周二进行了反击,无论是字面上还是隐喻上。

流浪者队从比赛一开始就占据了主导地位,随后伊戈尔·谢斯特金 (Igor Shesterkin) 击败了雅各布·马克斯特罗姆 (Jacob Markstrom) 和魔鬼队,赢得了大肆宣传的守门员大战,并以 4-1 在 MSG 进行了比赛。

魔鬼队在三场比赛中第二次失利,两场失利都是对阵大都会赛区的对手。他们的悲惨数字是六人,他们将从斯坦利杯季后赛的争夺中被淘汰。

流浪者队是整个赛季主场表现最差的球队之一,而魔鬼队在过去的两个赛季里一直在他们周围徘徊。

但在一场比赛中,魔鬼队需要保住他们微弱的季后赛希望,但他们还没有做好比赛的准备。新泽西队在第一节中放弃了九次高危机会和两个进球,其中包括 JT Miller 的强力进球,这只是他整个赛季在花园球场的第二个进球。

“我认为他们今晚真的很棒,而我们却没有那么好,”魔鬼队教练谢尔登·基夫说。 “在防守方面,当需要防守时我们还不够强大。”

魔鬼队队长尼科·希斯基尔也表达了基夫的观点。

“他们只是打得更加努力,”希斯基尔说。 “他们更想要它,而且他们打得很努力……我们找不到办法。”

马克斯特罗姆第一节做出了 5 次扑救,全场比赛仅阻止了 18 次射门。但魔鬼队在 5 对 5 的比赛中只获得了 8 次高危险得分机会,并且在比赛中的所有情况下丢掉了 20 次。

“我们让生活变得非常艰难 [Markstrom],即使我们不需要,”基夫说。“我们必须更好地防守,我们必须找到在进攻上执行的方法。”

马克斯特罗姆和谢斯特金之间广为人知的守门员之争将成为未来几年人们谈论的话题。流浪者队成员为他们的守门员迎接马克斯特罗姆的挑战而鼓掌。但这位魔鬼队守门员解释了为什么这是他选择与 2022 年维齐纳杯冠军进行战斗的时刻。

“我觉得我需要做点什么,”马克斯特罗姆说。 “丢了四个球是令人沮丧的,你想要参与其中,你想要做点什么。作为一名守门员,这不是我的工作。

“我们1-4落后,我只是想激发出火花什么的。”

基夫认识到马克斯特罗姆试图通过在溜冰场上滑冰并挑战谢斯特金放下装备来激发他的俱乐部的努力,尽管他首当其冲地受到了谢斯特金的拳打脚踢。

“这表明他是一个竞争对手,”基夫说。 “在这样的时刻,考虑到我们在赛季中所处的位置,这需要很大的勇气,但这也表明你是一个竞争者,可以毫不犹豫地在冰场上滑冰,然后去做,然后把你的东西放回去,出去并杀死一个点球,这是一项非常出色的工作。

“我认为他是一个在整场比赛中都在战斗的人。如果有什么不同的话,像这样的一场战斗应该向团队传达一个信息,告诉他们如何投入 [Markstrom] 是的,我们一直需要团队的其他成员。”

Devils Lose Game, Battle Rangers at MSG

The New Jersey Devils have dominated their cross-Hudson-rivals the New York Rangers over the past two seasons.

But the Rangers finally struck back Tuesday, both literally and figuratively.

The Rangers dominated from the start of the game, then Igor Shesterkin dealt a blow to both Jacob Markstrom and the Devils by setting up a much-discussed goalie fight at MSG and winning the game 4–1.

The Devils lost for the second time in three games, with both losses coming against a Metropolitan Division opponent. Their sad number, where they will be eliminated from Stanley Cup playoff contention, is six.

The Rangers have been one of the worst teams at home all season, and the Devils have skated circles around them the past two seasons.

But in a game the Devils needed to keep their faint playoff hopes alive, they were unprepared to play. New Jersey gave up nine high-danger chances in the first period and scored two goals, including JT Miller’s power-play goal, his second goal at the Garden all season.

Devils coach Sheldon Keefe said, “I thought they were really good tonight, and we weren’t nearly as good.” “Defensively, we weren’t as strong when it came time to defend.”

Devils captain Nico Hischier echoed Keefe’s sentiments.

“They played more tenaciously,” Hischier said. “They wanted it more, and they worked harder. … We couldn’t find a way.”

Markstrom made five saves in the first-period and stopped just 18 shots in the game. But the Devils got just eight high-danger scoring chances at 5-on-5 and surrendered 20 in all situations in the game.

“We have made life really difficult [Markstrom]Even when we didn’t need to,” Keefe said. “We’ve got to play better defense, and we’ve got to find ways to execute on offense.”

The much-publicized goaltender battle between Markstrom and Shesterkin will be talked about for years to come. Rangers members applauded their goalkeeper for fending off Markstrom’s challenge. But the Devils goalie explained why it was time for him to take on the 2022 Vezina Trophy winner.

“I felt like I needed to do something,” Markstrom said. “It’s disappointing to give up four goals, and you want to get involved, you want to do something. As a goalkeeper, that’s not really my job.

“We’re down 4-1, and I was just trying to get a spark or something.”

Keefe recognized Markstrom’s effort in trying to wake up his club by skating onto the rink and challenging Shesterkin to drop his gear, even though he took the brunt of Shesterkin’s punches.

“It shows what a competitor he is,” Keefe said. “At a moment like this, where we are in the season, it takes a lot of courage, but it also shows that you are a competitor to skate on the rink without hesitation and go and do that, then put your stuff back out and go out and shoot a penalty, that’s a pretty extraordinary thing to do.

“I thought he’s a guy who has struggled throughout the game. If anything, a fight like this should send a message to the group about how much they’re invested in [Markstrom] And we need the rest of the group at all times.”

Oba Femi steps into Knicks game before MSG RAW

Rising WWE superstar Oba Femi was among the thousands in attendance for the New York Knicks’ seventh consecutive win, who visited Madison Square Garden ahead of Monday Night Raw on March 30.

Femi attended the Knicks’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans in style by wearing a blue shirt that matched New York’s uniform. Photos of Femi were shared on Madison Square Garden’s social media accounts, in which he is holding the Knicks’ WWE-style championship belt and a custom jersey with his name on it.

This is a big step for Femi. Obviously, WWE sees a lot of potential in him and him promoting the company like this shows their confidence in him.

Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar are likely to face off when WWE RAW Knicks visits Madison Square Garden.

Currently, Femi is locked in a high-profile feud with Brock Lesnar leading up to WrestleMania 42. More likely, they will both be on the upcoming episode of Raw at the Garden on March 30.

Although it is unlikely that they will have a match, it is expected that they will have a physical relationship once again. Femi has performed better than Lesnar in his last two matches. Therefore, the “Beast Incarnate” is likely to return to Fami at least once before WrestleMania 42 begins on Saturday, April 18.

Femi was a major force in WWE’s developmental brand NXT. He won the NXT North American Championship once and the NXT Championship twice.

He was such a dominant champion that he left the NXT Championship after winning it for the second time. Femi never lost it, but rather gave it up.

Shortly after, he joined the WWE main roster before competing in the 2026 Royal Rumble. Lesnar eliminated him, which started their feud. Now, his first big fight on the main roster is against Lesnar, which is a big achievement for him.

Jose Alvarado reacts to first MSG start amid Jalen Brunson injury

No Jalen Brunson, no problem. Even without their key player, the New York Knicks recorded an easy 136-110 win over the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday.

Brunson missed the game with an ankle injury and a neck strain. He had not missed a competition since January.

A big factor in the Knicks’ victory was Jose Alvarado, who replaced Brunson in the starting lineup. He scored 16 points on 5 of 10 shooting, including four three-pointers, two rebounds, 10 assists and two steals.

Before tip-off, Alvarado was introduced as being from Christ the King High School. Players are usually introduced to their alma mater in college. When SNY asked about this, they told a slight change felt appropriate.

“I just wanted to show love for the school in the city where I went. Thanks to my college, I’m definitely grateful for my college. But the debut at The Garden was meant to represent the city where I grew up,” explained Alvarado, who was born and raised in Brooklyn.

The 27-year-old guard played four years at Georgia Tech, earning two All-ACC team honors and winning the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award in 2021.

Alvarado has been a solid midseason pick-up for the Knicks, providing instant energy, defensive intensity and shooting off the bench. In 18 games, he has averaged 6.2 points, 4.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 17.0 minutes.

He’s a perfect fit for the Knicks’ culture, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he earns a bigger role in the playoffs.

NY snaps Spurs’ 11-game win streak with MSG win

The New York Knicks ended the San Antonio Spurs’ 11-game winning streak, winning 114-89 on Sunday. The win improves New York to 38–22 on the season, 6.5 games behind the Detroit Pistons for the top record in the East. SNY’s Ian Begley says the much-maligned trade acquisition was key to victory.

Begley reported, “Mikel Bridges’ team-high 25 points and game-high five steals helped NYK defeat the Spurs, snapping SAS’ 11-game winning streak. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this one of the most impressive wins of this Knick season; six players scored at least 10 points and the team’s defense remained strong all afternoon.”

While the Spurs had won 11 consecutive games, Madison Square Garden has been a home of horrors for them. They have lost six consecutive games in Manhattan, with their last win coming in November 2019. Of course, this does not include the NBA Cup Finals, which the Knicks won in Las Vegas.

Bridges led the way for the Knicks on both ends of the floor, finishing with a team-high 25 points in addition to his defensive talent. Jalen Brunson was right behind him with 24 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart both posted double-doubles. Defensively, Victor Wembanyama was held to 25 points on 1 of 7 shooting from three-point range.

The Knicks have now won four of their last five games, keeping pace with the top teams in the Eastern Conference. But with tough games ahead, Toronto’s journey will begin with a brutal stretch. Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets and both Los Angeles clubs are at stake in the next five matches.

The Knicks are looking to make their fourth consecutive playoff appearance in the Jalen Brunson era. New coach Mike Brown has gone through some ups and downs this season, but should start March off on the right foot with a big win.

詹姆斯·多兰透露 MSG 可能拆分尼克斯队和流浪者队的计划

麦迪逊广场花园体育公司首席执行官詹姆斯·多兰(James Dolan)有可能采取行动,将纽约尼克斯队和流浪者队(该市的 NBA 和 NHL 球队)拆分为两家独立的上市公司。

有报道称,MSG 董事会批准了一项“探索分拆曲棍球和篮球俱乐部”的计划(来自《纽约时报》)。

如果交易成功,尼克斯队及其发展联盟球队威彻斯特尼克斯队将成为独立于流浪者队的一家公司,而他们的小联盟球队哈特福德狼群队也将同样分拆为另一家公司。

尽管如此,没有什么是“肯定会发生的”,而且“没有考虑完成这一行动的时间表”。因此,球迷们必须密切关注事态的发展。

多兰在《纽约时报》发表的一份声明中表示:“我们正在探索机会,通过将我们的两个职业体育特许经营权拆分为不同的公司,进一步为股东创造价值。” “尼克斯队和流浪者队都是各自联盟中的顶级球队,拥有传奇的历史和庞大而热情的球迷基础。

“我们相信这项拟议的交易将为每家公司提供增强的战略灵活性、自己明确的业务重点以及投资者的明确特征,”他继续说道。

虽然麦迪逊广场花园董事会批准了该计划,但还有其他因素在起作用。此举必须获得 NBA 和 NHL 的批准。 《纽约时报》还指出,还有“其他考虑因素”。

至于原因,一些人猜测此举将使多兰“更容易”出售其中一项特许经营权。 1994 年,多兰家族成为特许经营权的少数股东。不久之后,他们成为多数股东。

多兰一直坚称他对出售球队不感兴趣。不过,他和味精高管已表示有兴趣出售少数股权。

正如《纽约时报》指出的那样,此举的另一个可能原因是,它可以作为尼克斯队和流浪者队私人交易球队的“先驱”。目前它们均已公开交易。

James Dolan reveals plan to potentially divest Knicks, Rangers for MSG

There is a possibility that Madison Square Garden Sports CEO James Dolan is taking steps to split the New York Knicks and Rangers, the city’s NBA and NHL teams, into two separate publicly traded companies.

Reports have emerged that MSG’s board of directors has approved a plan to “rediscover its hockey and basketball clubs” (via The New York Times).

If this occurs, the Knicks and their G League team, the Westchester Knicks, will become a separate company from the Rangers and their minor league team, the Hartford Wolf Pack, will similarly be spun off into a separate company.

Still, nothing is “guaranteed to happen” and “there is no timeline in mind to complete this move.” Therefore, fans will have to keep an eye on the situation.

“We are exploring the opportunity to create value for our shareholders by separating our two professional sports franchises into separate companies,” Dolan said in a statement, via The New York Times. “Both the Knicks and Rangers are dominant teams in their respective leagues, with storied histories and large and passionate fan bases.

He further added, “We believe this proposed transaction will provide each company with greater strategic flexibility, its own defined business focus and clearer attributes for investors.”

While Madison Square Garden’s board approved the plan, there were other factors involved. Both the NBA and NHL would have to approve the move. The New York Times also notes that “There are other views.”

Regarding the reason for this, some are speculating that such a move would make it “easier” for Dolan to sell one of the franchises. In 1994 the Dolan family became minority owners of the franchise. Shortly thereafter, he became the majority owner.

Dolan is adamant that he has no interest in selling teams. However, he and MSG executives have stated their interest in selling a minority stake.

Another possible reason for the move, as The New York Times notes, is that it could serve as a “precursor” to making the Knicks and Rangers privately traded teams. They are both currently publicly traded.

Fan Smashes a Forehand Winner Against Carlos Alcaraz at MSG: A Night to Remember at #TheGardenCup

Madison Square Garden (MSG) has witnessed some of the greatest sporting spectacles in history, but few moments were as unexpected and electrifying as what transpired during The Garden Cup. While the world came to see the mastery of 4-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz, it was a lucky fan who stole the spotlight by smashing a sensational forehand winner against the Spanish superstar.

The Moment That Fast-Tracked to Viral Status

During an exhibition match designed to bring tennis back to the heart of New York City, Alcaraz—known for his sportsmanship and flair—invited a fan from the stands to play a point. For most, the pressure of standing across the net from the world number 2 would be paralyzing. However, this particular fan seized the moment.

After a brief rally, the fan stepped into the court and unleashed a blistering inside-out forehand winner that left Alcaraz stranded and the crowd in ruptures. The video, tagged with #thegardencup, has since gone viral across social media platforms in India, with fans praising the sheer audacity of the shot.

Tennis Scores and Match Context

While the exhibition focused on entertainment, the level of tennis remained high. The Garden Cup featured high-profile clashes, including matchups involving Alcaraz and Ben Shelton. For Indian fans following tennis scores, these exhibition matches serve as a crucial barometer for player fitness ahead of the ATP tour’s rigorous schedule.

Alcaraz, despite the “loss” of that specific point to the fan, showed why he is the face of the next generation. His movement and shot-making remain elite, but his willingness to engage with the audience cemented his status as a fan favourite in NYC and beyond.

Why The Garden Cup Matters for Indian Tennis Fans

In India, where tennis icons like Leander Paes and Sania Mirza have paved the way, the appetite for global tennis is at an all-time high. Events like The Garden Cup at MSG demonstrate the sport’s move toward “tennis-tainment”—blending high-stakes skill with fan engagement. Watching a “regular” person compete with an icon like Alcaraz inspires the millions of young players currently training at academies in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore.

Conclusion
