News about Bernard King

With an emphatic 99-79 victory over Madison Square Garden on Friday night, the New York Knicks took a 2-1 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in their first-round playoff series. The crowd of over 19,000 screaming supporters erupted in ear shattering boos and jubilation as every shot was fired amid booming 'defense' chants throughout the first quarter as every shot went up as blue, orange, and yellow lights flickered around the crowd.

Julius Randle had 57 points, the third-highest number in franchise history, but the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated New York 140-134. Randle defeated Richie Guerin in the only two 60-point games in Knicks history, Carmelo Anthony's 62 on Jan. 24, 2014, and Bernard King's 60 on Christmas Day in 1984. Randle's best was 52 points in three quarters, notably above his previous record of 46 points.

According to an injunction brought by a local judge, Madison Square Garden cannot exclude a high-profile New York attorney, his associates, or his clients from its venues in retaliation for a pending lawsuit involving the Knicks and Rangers' parent company. Attorney Larry Hutcher, a season ticket holder for nearly half a century, sacked Madison Square Garden Entertainment last month, arguing that he and his colleagues were banned from MSG addresses after being counsel for 24 ticket resellers who were in a court fight MSG. Hutcher says he was sent a letter later informing him that he and his coworkers were refused and that his season tickets had been revoked. On Monday, however, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Lyle E. Frank granted Hutcher an injunction, finding that he, his coworkers, and his clients are not allowed to enter MSG Entertainment venues. Frank, on the other hand, made a difference in his decision by allowing the NHL Rangers and NBA's Knicks to continue banning Hutcher and his clients. Hutcher tells DailyMail.com that he would appeal the decision.

Larry Hutcher (left), 71, co-founder of law firm Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP, has been barred from the Garden (center) for representing season ticket holders in a litigation with MSG Entertainment. The Rangers and the Knicks' season tickets to 'The Mecca' have been forfeited due to their position as dealers, which, according to stadium and corporation owner James Dolan (right) is against the New York Arts and Cultural Affairs Law. Since the 1975-76 season, Hutcher has been a season ticket holder and usually stands five rows behind one of the court's two baskets.
