#Miles McBride, Quentin Grimes end Knicks summer league in style

Rookie guards Miles McBride and Quentin Grimes are looking like guys who will press to make coach Tom Thibodeau’s tight rotation.

Late in the second quarter Monday night, McBride received an inbounds pass under the hoop and dunked emphatically on Atlanta’s rookie point guard Sharife Cooper.

It was McBride’s signature moment of the night and of his stellar summer league performance.

McBride and Grimes put forth a second straight gem to close the Las Vegas Summer League in style.

The West Virginia point guard came off the bench to score all 19 of his points in the first half, making 5 of 8 3-pointers, notched four assists and played his trademark tough defense as his college coach Bob Huggins came to Las Vegas to watch. He finishing summer league 18 of 36 overall from 3.

Meanwhile, Grimes rang up 26 points as the Knicks routed Atlanta, 104-85, at Thomas & Mack Center, to finish their summer league season with a 4-2 record.

After a slow start, Grimes, the Knicks’ first-round pick at No. 25, exploded for 66 points in the final three games.

Monday, the University of Houston product scored the game’s first nine points — all 3-pointers, finishing summer league 22 of 54 from 3 (40.7 percent). In fact, Grimes executed a six-point possession. He drilled a 3, got fouled, missed the free throw but got the long rebound and made another from downtown.

McBride badly outclassed Cooper, the well-touted Auburn star whom the Knicks passed on four times in the draft. After McBride dunked on Cooper, the Hawks point guard dribbled downcourt and McBride harassed him into an airball.

Cooper, who fell to 48th in the draft, sat out the second half with what was said to be a stomachache — or perhaps the McBride Flu. A source told The Post that McBride outplayed Cooper in their Knicks draft workout, too.
