Andy Rautins earned his 1st NBA victory, kind of. The Knicks topped the Lakers 71-63 in their 2nd Summer League game. Rautins, the former Jamesville-Dewitt and SU standout scored 3 points on 1-4 shooting from beyond the 3 point arc. Add that to his 11 point performance Sunday, and he's averaging 7 points per game. Former Cornell star Ryan Wittman, despite having his name misspelled on his jersey (It read "Whittman") also tallied three points. Wittman was with Boston's Summer League team last week before joining the Knicks over the weekend.
Donte Greene had a solid game despite a bloody start to it. Greene, who played for Syracuse in the 2007-2008 season took an elbow from Georgetown alum Greg Monroe in the 1st quarter and blood sprayed all over his jersey, forcing him to take a new #8 jersey (his normal number is 20). Greene came back and tallied 11 points including a fantastic "and-one" play in the lane when he spun for a layup while being fouled. The Kings beat the Pistons 97-68.
