Game Thread: Washington Wizards @ New York Knicks - 2/14/18

[htr10]

It’s Valentine’s Day. Let’s see if Hornacek keeps breaking my heart with his rotations. Let’s go Knicks!

[htr10]

Hot Valentine’s Day tip for all the guys out there. Make sure your wife’s flowers get delivered before she goes to bed. Still waiting for the flower delivery at our household and my wife just gave up. Good times.

[htr10]

Last game for us before the All-Star break. After tonight, we don’t play again until 2/22. This would be a great time for us to get rid of Hornacek, but I’ve given up on that hope for this season.

[htr10]

Optimistic projections have KP returning from his ACL repair by Christmas 2018. Some might argue why bring him back so fast next season when we’re likely going to be in the tank again.

[htr10]

Kanter, Beasley, THJ, Lee, and Jack are starting. Very, very good chance this is the last time we see this starting lineup.

[htr10]

THJ starts off the game by knocking down a corner 3.

[htr10]

Great early start for THJ as he hits another 3. We lead 14 - 10.

[htr10]

Kanter gets the put back on the offensive board over Gortat. We lead 18 - 10.

[htr10]

Over 6 minutes into the 1st quarter and our starters are all still in the game. They are playing well together.

[htr10]

Kanter knocks down the mid range jumper. He has 10 points in 8 minutes. Knicks lead 28 - 15.

[htr10]

Mudiay in for Jack. LT in for Beasley.

[htr10]

O’Quinn in for Kanter. 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

[htr10]

Really effective 1st quarter for THJ. 15 points in less than 10 minutes. Ntilikina in for Lee.

[htr10]

Mudiay finds THJ who now has 17 1st quarter points. Knicks lead by 15.

[htr10]

Ntilikina already with a bad turnover.
