Caught them before Collins comes back from suspension. They've been terrible without him and Hunter hasn't filled the gap.

Payton could be so much better if he could knock down that floater more often, I bet his % is below the league avg on them.

We go on a nice run led by DSJ, who is getting late 1st quarter minutes.

DSJ in and connects on a 3, good sign after bricking his first FT.

Wow, explosive end to the 1st quarter. We lead 41 to 27. Let?s go Knicks!

Thanks for Game-Thread htr10 .... Miller adding DSJ to the rotation tonight .. I guess Miller wants DSJ to pick up some of Trae's moves by defending him

First 40 pt qtr for the Knicks, finally getting some positive stats out of this group with Fiz he set records but they were records like worst qtr in history or first time the Knicks lost by 50 points.

Knicks up 47-27 as second quarter nears 10 minute mark. Woah.

Miller might get back to .500...

Knicks on a 21 - 0 run.

You never give up on Nits but you have on DSJ even though he has a triple double and a 30 scoring night on his resume.

Nice stretch for Randle finishing at the rim and finding RJ for the slam.

No question this team is responding well to changes made by Miller so far and learning to lean on their strengths and finding mismatches.

Notice RJ is out game

When DSJ start applying defense to his performance like Knox is starting to do .. I will back him.
DSJ got a triple double on Fizdale !!!
We got a 20 pt lead 49-69 .. OK take Frank out to give DSJ some more minute defending Trae

Fantastic 1st half. Knicks lead 77 - 53 at the half. Wow. Miller era continues to impress in how fast he has had a positive effect on these guys.

77 first half points!

RJ and Morris and Randle show, with some DSJ, DOT, and MRob

Play of the game MRob stepping into the passing lane for a stesl and taking it all the way for a dunk. Knicks score 77 pts in the half to lead the Hawks 77-53.

We scored 41 pts in a quarter .. holdup we scored 77 points in the first half of a game !!!
Remarkable !!!
Half-Time Knicks 77 - Hawks 53

Who are these Knicks ???
Where did this Knick team come from ???

Most coaching changes result in a temporary change and a couple of wins before reverting back to the norm, but this looks to be more permanent, keep hearing the Knicks shouldn't be this bad with all the vets we have. Fizdale looks to have been the problem and Miller is fixing some of the problems.
