Thanks for the Game Thread Rady .. Tonight we got the GS Warriors in NY.
To me Jimmy Butler was the NBA best super-star traded in the 2024-25 season.
Tonight we face the NBA 3-Point King Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler's dynamics.
The Warriors are another small-ball rotation team with weapons.
Having our center Hukporti out with injury, plus our PF KAT out with injury too .. It may become hard for us to pull off a Knicks win tonight without KAT scoring and rebounds (24 pts & 13 reb). Plus the way we been playing up & down performance.
We must give Precious some gainly minutes tonight in the rotation for our opponents body-guard Draymond Green.
First quarter Brunson & Hart could not keep up with Curry to defend him.
We got Mikal on Curry. Butler played 5 minutes then sat.
Mitch started the game, and Precious as his backup
Tied at 17
Mitch & Precious makin Warriors earn their inside scoring the hard way.
Curry Moody and Hield cant keep up with Brunson on defense so they double and triple team a dribbling Brunson
Our 2nd unit lineup did a Great job shutting GS down from scoring 50 points.
GS Warriors shot 5-23 3-balls in first half .. Great perimeter defense by the Knicks!!!
Brunson 17 pts
OG 12 pts
Curry 8 pts
Butler 6 pts
The Knicks need to do the same thing in the 2nd half
We was doing good the first half of the game, the Warriors went on a 8-0 run in the 3rd, then went on another 8-0 run in the 4th qtr. to take a double digit lead 105-95 GS lead .. 3 min remain in Game.
