Jose Alvarado sparks Knicks comeback and hears chants from crowd

In Jose Alvarado’s first four games with the Knicks, his offensive splits were much better in the two road games — both victories — than they were in the team’s two home losses at the Garden. But the Brooklyn native enjoyed the first true MSG moment of his homecoming, helping spark the comeback from an 18-point deficit in the fourth quarter for a rousing 108-106 victory over the Rockets. Alvarado was used by coach Mike Brown for significant minutes to help spark the team’s defensive revival down the stretch, finishing with eight points, five steals and a plus-18 rating over 20 minutes off the bench, even earning José Reyes-style chants of “Jose, Jose, Jose” from the appreciative crowd.
