Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. Do you think Randle & Brunson worked out their problem, and will get on the same-page tonight?
The return of RJ Barrett could mean the feud between Randle & Brunson is over.
But we Knicks still need a backup PF, and Deuce McBride to facilitate the ball.
The Lakers (late FA signing) PF Christian Woods put-back beat the Clippers last week.
Now, the Clippers are in NY looking for a win, and they bringing a minute restriction James Harden.

A competing First quarter for Knicks & Clippers ...
End of First Quarter .. Knicks 19 - Clippers 21

 

[Kiyaman]

I got to give props to our 2nd unit they score on broken plays

 

[Kiyaman]

Randle lob to Mitch went straight in the basket .. The Me-Me article is true
Westbrook givin the tech shot to PG is something we need to do

Half Time .. Knicks 42 - Clips 46
Mitch been dynamic against both Zubac & Plumlee

 

[Kiyaman]

Harden pushing the ball alongside Kahwi is not good for us ..
Brunson didn't see Westbrook defending Mitch under the basket

 

[Kiyaman]

Randle pick n roll lob pass to Mitch was awesome .. I been waiting 4 seasons for that move

 

[Kiyaman]

Plumlee out

 

[Kiyaman]

Exciting low scoring game .. Harden & Quickley ending the quarter with 3 ball shots for a tie
End of 3rd Quarters .. Knicks 76 -Clips 76
Even Game to start the 4th quarter

 

[Kiyaman]

For some reason I'm Luvin RJ Barrett's performance this season ..
Knicks want the WIN in MSG tonight

 

[Kiyaman]

I'm LUVIN our 2nd unit grabbing a quick 10 point lead in the 4th qtr. 9 min remaining

 

[Kiyaman]

I thought Thibs early substitution was gonna mess up the 2nd unit 16-4 run
Mitch Hart and RJ slowed it down

 

[mafra]

RJ returns and Knicks win. 26 points. Randle returns. Di-Vo and Hart. Over 70 second half points. Sharing the rock. 4 Knicks with season hi

17-18 from FT

 

[Kiyaman]

Knicks BIG 111-97 Win over L.A Clippers in MSG !!!
RJ Barrett Gets Game Ball tonight.
The 2nd unit bench lineup was explosive tonight, adding 35 bench points, and taking a 10 point lead early in the 4th quarter.

 

[mafra]

Clipper had Hatden, Westbrook, Leaned and George on floor to start 4th… no match for our bench.
