Half Time .. Knicks 56 - Rocks 61

The Rockets defense took a 15 pt lead over the Knicks in the 2nd qtr., and OG scoring and crazy cross the court pass to Brunson for a 3 took the Knicks on a 10-0 run to get Rockets lead down to 5.
Rookie Kolec got his first time playing in the first half of a Knicks game, 6 min for 3 pts.
OG 16 pts, 5 reb
Brunson 14 pts, 5 Dimes
Knicks had a 8 man rotation in the first half.
 
The Rockets young players are dynamic .. the vets Brooks, VanFleet, and Adams got to show them how to close games. They doing a good job in the 3rd quarter
 
End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 75 - Rocks 81

The Rockets took another 15 pt lead on us, and Brunson & KAT had to chop down the Rockets lead to 5
Com'on Knicks we need a strong 4th .....
 
Must be the Knicks 7 man rotation tonight got this to a close game 95 -98 .. 3 min crunchtime
Brunson 29 pts
 
Tibbs 7 man Game rotation .... and Deuce McBride 0-9 fg shooting when he should've pass the ball on all 9 shots, plus playing a 4 man offense freezing rookie Kolec out of getting the ball in his 6 minutes of playing time tonight. Are the main reason for the Knicks 12 pt loss vs the young 4-3 Rockets.
Tonight, we should've CHANGE something on an offense we used repeatedly last season (iso), especially at crunch time.

I still believe rookie Kolec (playmaker-moves) should've received Paynes minutes in the preseason games, and at the start of the regular season games. A vet like Payne u put in the rotation around Thanks Giving or Christmas.
All 3 of our Rookies show lots of potential in their rookie performance, there's no reason 2 of our rookies are not in our Game-rotation early in the season. Having 3 of our Starter in the lineup to start the 4th quarter in all 6 of our games this season are not healthy.
Knicks got 3 pts, 4 reb, 3 ast, from the bench tonight ......
