NEW YORK -- OOPS
Italian Heritage Night at Madison Square Garden got off to a bumpy start before the introductions were even over. Raptors centre Andrea Bargnani, one of three Italian NBAers on the floor last night, was introduced with his proper name but hailing from Villaneuva de la Serena, Spain, which, of course, is the hometown of Jose Calderon, not Bargnani who comes from Rome.
BELINELLI SITS
And while both Bargnani and the Knicks' Danilo Gallinari got into the spirt of Italian Heritage Night, the same could not be said for Marco Belinelli, who missed the morning shootaround because he was feeling under the weather. Belinelli did make it to the game and warmed up before, but sat out the first half and then did not return to the bench with the rest of the team for the second.
