That being said, they do have some talented young players who can, from time to time, put on a good show. MORE: Obama fires back at Jordan | J.R. Smith suspended for groin strike On Wednesday night, facing off against the Magic, rookie K.J. McDaniels showed just how entertaining he can be, finishing a tremendous lob pass from Tony Wroten with an equally impressive one-handed finish.

Not where a giant flag and that beautiful Star-Spangled brass can cover an inconvenient truth: It’s 14 years to the day since September 11th — an event that taught us the power of a stadium, a shared space, a collective, raw remembrance.
