54-51 Knicks at the half. Just tuning in but Fiz looks like Fiz still tinkering, playing Jenkins and who apparently is on fire.
 
Our lead cut to 3 at the half. Weird 1st half. John Jenkins leads us in scoring. Kadeem Allen has 7 assists. Knox has 8 rebounds.
 
Kornet and DJ on the court together, more tinkering.

FWIW, the starting 5 of DJ, Kornet, Knox, Dotson, and DSJ played about 100 times better 1st quarter defense than what we have generally seen from this team in the last 3 months. Could be a fluke.
 
I think the good news about Knox?s struggles is that a lot of it is poor decision making. That is something that can be fixed.

Kadeem is a keeper. Fiz is crazy if he doesn't continue playing him when Mudiay and Nits come back. Time to send Nitilikina down to the GLeague where it didn't hurt Kadeem.
 
MRob with 4 blocks. He is averaging basically the same blocks per game as Rudy Gobert, but he is doing it in half the minutes.

Looks like we are going to get one tonight. We lead by 12 in the 4th.

You also have to play DSJ over Mudiay, DSJ will be here next year, Mudiay may not be.

The Westchester Knicks has much better developing coaching staf than the Knicks poor coaches

Under 4 to play, 12 pt lead after alley oop DSJ to DJ. Kornet with the dagger 3 for a 15 pt lead and an imminent W to break their 18 game skid.
