Despite recent cold weather that has slowed down removal of the final stretch of spoil from the Imberhorne cutting, and the laying of track and cabling, Mr Watts is confident the stretch will be completed in time.
The Knicks slowed down in the second and Washington was within seven late in the period, but New York scored seven points in the final 50.3 seconds, with Raymond Felton stealing the ball from Wall and laying it in with 1.3 seconds left to make it 58-43.
