‘Couldn’t have asked for a better environment,’ says New York Knicks coach after back-to-back wins at Abu Dhabi Games 2025

ABU DHABI: The New York Knicks’ coach Mike Brown said his team had “a great trip” after they wrapped up the second of two preseason matchups at the NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2025 with a 113–104 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.

The Knicks’ performance at Etihad Arena was led by OG Anunoby’s 13-point debut, Mitchell Robinson’s dominance on the boards, and 14 points from Jalen Brunson, which secured back-to-back wins.

Brown said: “It was a great trip. We really enjoyed it, the people here were very welcoming, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment to spend time with our families and with each other.

“I thought we got a lot out of the trip. Now we’ll go home, regroup, and keep trying to get a little better every day.”
