MILAN (AP) – New York Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni says he hopes to use the European tour to help his team get used to a faster style of play.
The Knicks play Olimpia Milano in Milan on Sunday before traveling to Paris to meet the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.
D’Antoni told reporters Saturday “if we want to play with 11 guys, we have to play at a high pace. It is something we will have to try.”
D’Antoni played for Olimpia Milano from 1976 to 1989. It’s also home to Knicks forward Danilo Gallinari.
Last season, New York finished 11th in the Eastern Conference and missed the playoffs.
