Brief: Caracter, Bynum Return to the East Coast

New Jersey-natives and Andrew Bynum, members of the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, return to the tristate metropolitan area Friday night to take on the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The game starts at 8 p.m., and although it's sold-out, resale tickets are available through Knicks' Ticket Exchange, StubHub and Craigslist. If you'd prefer to watch from home, the game will be carried locally on MSG Network and nationally on ESPN.
