Hi Rady, Thanks for the Game-Thread .... The game we all been waiting for ..
ex-Knicks Donte & Randle vs KAT
What is the coach (Tibbs vs Finch) Game Plan for the win having coach their opponents star player.
Will plan A work? or will they need a plan B too?

I still say both teams would've had a much better record than they have now if both teams were able to have their last-season roster.
Will this game prove who got the best out of the trade???
 
The OKC Thunder vs Orlando Magic game before the Knicks game on TNT
The Magics playing hard using a 10-man rotation without their two star players (Banchero & Franz Wagner). When both those players come back the Magic will have some deep defensive depth in the midseason games.
 
Randle scoring early as usual, already grabbing 13 points in 8 minutes in the first quarter.
OG never had any good success as a Raptor defending Randles 20-10-5 bully-ball performance as a Knicks

End of First Quarter .. Knicks 32 - Wolves 33
Sims & McBride defense/offense the ending 3 min of qtr. works wonders
 
Payne, Mikal, OG, and Mr. Deuce McBride team defense took control of the tempo of the game when it was 25 -33 Wolves lead to now 48-35 Knicks lead.
 
The Knicks grabbed a come from behind 21-point lead while Brunson & Hart rested on the bench for a 59-38 score, before Brunson came back on the court.
That says something about Tibbs crazy substitute coaching, and Sims started the Knicks run.
 
Half Time .. Knicks 73 - Wolves 51
The Knicks got a 22-point lead from Mcbride & OG 2-Way performance playing the entire 12 minutes of the 2nd quarter. Big help from Sims, Payne, and Mikal's 2-way performance mixed like all-star chemistry alongside Deuce & OG.

Mikal 16 pts
Brunson 11 pts
KAT 22 pts, 12 reb, 4 ast, plus a standing ovation before the Game.
Super Big Props to Mr. Deuce McBride's 8 pts, 4 reb, 4 ast, 1 steal, and win win Hustle.
 
The NO Josh Hart in the rotation tonight, especially in the Starter 5 lineup we look a 100-times better on both sides of the court. We been moving the ball well and setting-up on defense quicker for steals.
No hard feeling for Josh Hart, but McBride & Mikal & OG were a dynamic trio in the lineup tonight.
Randle walk no call who cares having a 31 pt Knicks lead at the end of the 3rd quarter.
GO Knicks go!
 
114-81
We have almost 10 minutes remaining in the game, and KAT played 38 minutes already, why is KAT still on the court???
That was KAT home court.
 
Having a 104-74 (30 pt) lead at the End of the 3rd quarter ..
And rookies Kolec and Hukporti and Dadiet only receive 2 min, 2 min, and 5 min of playing-time in the 4th quarter, says this is not the first or second time HC Tibbs did this, it spells Knicks coaching staff is not good for our rookies NBA growth.

Not putting an all-bench lineup on the court to start the 4th quarter having a 30 pt lead say's
"The HC has no confidence in the bench players!

Just watched the replay of the game, that 2nd quarter was a monster statement from our guys. 41-19 against a defenseless twolves team. For nearly 5 minutes they weren't able to score. Randle had a good start but it lasted just one quarter. The second half was more like a formality but that was due to a strong 3rd quarter when we did not allow the Wolves to get back in the game after cuting it to 19 or so.
Loved to see the youngsters get some playtime during the 4th quarter. With Dadiet on the floor the Knicks gave up 9 pts but once he was switched with Ryan everything settled. Great win!
