Wsup Rady .. Thanks for the Game Thread .. The Knicks are not taking it easy on the Wizards in the first quater ..
Knicks 32 - Wiz 18 .. 1 min remain in qtr.
Knicks went on a 9-0 run
Randle put up 13 pts in the first qtr. making up for last night game

 

[Kiyaman]

End of First Quarter .. Knicks 34 - Wiz 19
Our 6.1 Deuce McBride closed out the quarter with a put-back dunk

 

[Kiyaman]

Deuce McBride started the scoring in the 2nd Qtr. with a 3-Ball
Deuce gave us 5 pts, 2 ast, 1 steal in 6 minutes before Thibs took him out (He's ready for 8 straight min, probably 10 vs Wiz).
40-28 Knicks .. 8 min remain in quarter

Josh Hart's 2-Way hustle performance is so valuable & priceless for the Knicks.
It's a shame, I never seen this type of outstanding team performance from Josh Hart on the Lakers, Pelicans, Blazers

 

[Kiyaman]

The Knicks fast pace running performance are to much for the Wizards 48-28 Knicks 6 min remain ..
The end of a back to back

 

[Kiyaman]

WOW! Poole scoring his first 2 points in the game with 1 min remain before half time.
Was Poole a fare trade for (head-coach/PG) Chris Paul ???

[Kiyaman]

WAS starts 3Q on a 19-5 run. Lead down to 6. A ballgame again.

The Wiz comeback in the 3rd froze me for a minute or two ..
I thought the Wiz starter lineup was going to do a 360 from the first half

 

[Kiyaman]

101-90 Knicks .. 6 min remain in game

 

[Kiyaman]

Randle 37 pts and Brunson 31 pts and Hartenstein 18 rebounds has not let the Wiz back in the game ..
113-92 Knicks .. 4 min remain in game

 

[Kiyaman]

I Hate coach Thibs .. he get all the credit for our players defensive talent, plus we have a 21 point lead at a time-out with 4 minutes left in the game, and all our starters come back on the court at the end of the time-out.
Knicks win both road games on a back to back .. GO Knicks !!!
