We have a group that hasn’t, you know, even played in the Commissioner’s Cup together, a lot of new players, and so it’s really important for us to be able to do this at home. Our first time hosting here in Barclays Center with this crowd, and we just got to continue to build off of this,” Ionescu said. (0:36)
