With him, everything changed: mentality, technical and physical structure, ambition.

NEW YORK — If you find yourself in a hole, you should probably stop digging.
The New York Knicks are in the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000. They won 51 games this season — the most any Knicks team has won since 2011-12. They’ve won 50-plus in consecutive seasons for the first time since the 1993-94 and 1994-95 campaigns. On Friday, point guard Jalen Brunson and center Karl-Anthony Towns were both named to the All-NBA team — just the fifth time in franchise history that two Knicks earned selection in the same year.

Mets third baseman Mark Vientos is day-to-day with abdominal soreness, manager Carlos Mendoza said after Friday’s 7-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 13 innings.
“Vientos was right before the game,” Mendoza said. “He was hitting in the cages, obviously, and then reported that abdominal, some soreness there.
“The trainers are telling me that he’s day-to-day. As of right now, we’re not planning on doing any imaging or anything like that, but we’ll see where we’re at tomorrow.”
Vientos added that it was on his left side.

NEW YORK — On Friday night, the Dodgers emerged victorious, technically speaking. The defending champions outlasted the Mets 7-5 in an ugly, delirious, rain-soaked, 13-inning slopfest. The game started at 7:10 p.m. ET. It ended just before 1 a.m. 
There will be bleary-eyed ballplayers on Saturday.
Even though L.A. won the battle, the night that would not end has created something of a conundrum. Ahead of the Dodgers: a grueling month-long stretch, 26 consecutive games against teams with winning records.

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Trea Turner led off the game with a home run and had three hits, Zack Wheeler extended his scoreless innings streak and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Athletics 4-3 on Friday night for their eighth straight win.

Wheeler (6-1) won his fourth straight start and has thrown 22 2/3 scoreless innings. He gave up up three hits and struck out eight.
