Leon Rose's daughter shares ‘special' look at Knicks' playoff run in new video
As far as Brooke Rose is concerned, the journey is still unwritten for this Knicks team following their heartbreaking playoff ouster. One day after the Knicks fell to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday, the daughter of Knicks president Leon Rose recapped the 'special' run in an Instagram video that highlighted different moments throughout the postseason. Advertisement 'This chapter might have ended, but the story is far from over.. beyond proud of this team. truly something special,' she captioned Sunday's post. '🔒. forever.' The video captured wild celebrations at Madison Square Garden, along with scenes from the Knicks knocking off the Pistons and Celtics en route to their first conference finals appearance since 2000. 6 Knicks president Leon Rose with his daughter, Brooke Rose.

Although they rebounded from a Game 4 defeat with a resounding 111-94 win at MSG in Game 5, the Knicks fell flat in the second half of Game 6 Saturday, ending their season with a 125-108 loss. 6 Leon Rose during the Knicks' playoff run in April 2025.

'Once we dig into it and look at: Was it our defense, or was it our turnovers? Probably both.' Although it's going to take a beat to digest the loss, Knicks captain Jalen Brunson is 'overconfident' the team — which added Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges this season — can take the next step. 6 Brooke Rose said she's 'beyond proud' of the team. Brooke Rose/Instagram 'There's not an ounce of any type of doubt that I'm not confident with this group,' Brunson said. '… We have a lot of guys that just genuinely want to work hard to be better, and I like that, and I appreciate my teammates and everything they do and everything they believe in.' Towns, who drew the ire of local sports personalities in the wake of Saturday's season-ending loss, arrived in New York in October following a blockbuster trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Bridges joined former Villanova teammates Hart and Brunson following a trade with the Nets in June 2024 — a move Brooke hinted at on social media at the time.

Highway work causes headache for Topeka businesses, drivers
TOPEKA (KSNT) – A Topeka business situated in the core of the Polk Quincy Viaduct construction project is telling customers to plan ahead so they can navigate the construction downtown. Many drivers and businesses are feeling the pressure as lanes close and new detours pop up on I-70 and around Topeka Boulevard in the downtown area due to the ongoing Polk-Quincy Viaduct project. Crews reduced westbound I-70 to one lane from Topeka Boulevard to Northwest MacVicar Avenue on Monday, Feb. 24. A similar lane reduction is planned for eastbound I-70 in mid-March. More traffic control is expected in the coming days. Brooke Rose runs a dog grooming business, The Groom Shack, in the area and is telling customers to leave early. 'When they have to leave earlier, and then they find out this road's closed, and they have to go another way and then that road's closed,' Rose said. 'Then I'm getting phone calls and people are late. So, we're just trying to give everybody a little more leeway.' Topeka city councilmember filing for open mayor seat Rose told 27 News she's been accepting walk-ins as it could be difficult for people to arrive on time for scheduled appointments. The Kansas Department of Transportation will be holding a public meeting about the Polk-Quincy Viaduct Project. The meeting will be held at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 27 at the Cyrus K Holliday Building. For more information on the Polk-Quincy Viaduct Project, click here. For more local news, click here.
