Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni reflected on deciding to coach in New York rather than Chicago on Tuesday night.

"It was a hard choice, there's no doubt about it. It was two great teams, two great cities. I was lucky to have either choice," D'Antoni said. "At one point, you have to sit down and make a choice. It was nothing that (the Bulls) did or didn't do or could have done. I knew New York was a big challenge and they really recruited me.

"That night when I made that decision, it felt good, and it still does. I'm glad I did it. At the same time, I hope everybody knows it wasn't a slight to Chicago. They have great players, and I would have been excited to do that also."
