Second-year point guard Smith and veteran center Jordan both arrived at Madison Square Garden in last week's blockbuster trade that saw Kristaps Porzingis leave New York for the Dallas Mavericks.

Although they were unable to prevent the Knicks' losing streak being extended to 13 games, Smith and Jordan brought some excitement to the Garden crowd with one of the plays of the game.
