Somebody finally stumbled upon a good idea at Madison Square Garden.

The New York Knicks announced they will not play any music, video, or in-game entertainment in the first half of Sunday's matinee game against the Golden State Warriors.

A lack of background music (and all the additional bells and whistles that usually accompany it) made the introduction of the respective starting lineups quite jarring.
