Nice victory to start this road trip. The Knicks big men were overwhelming.

Good game, good start to the road trip. Another good game by RJ. Quickley hit an important 3, late in the game. Still would like to see him play a little time at the 2, to work on his drives. Other teams are going to try and take away his floater. Noel might not light up the stat sheet nightly. But he's a good role player to have on a playoff team. Very active.

Knicks did a good job of taking away Curry's 3, when he came back into the game in the 4th. Helped seal the W. Glad to see Thibs resting the starters early in the 4th.

The way the coaching staff had RJ initiating the offense more last night at the top of the key, it makes sense to have Quickley in there to space the floor and be a drive and kick option...Hopefully we will see that soon...

While the numbers were impressive, Thibodeau saw something else — a rising confidence in his young team as it took the hits and then pulled away.

Some days we make mistakes, but the next day there’s a determination to correct mistakes and get better. If we do that each and every day, we’ll continue to grow. That’s what I love about them. Our vets are doing a great job. It’s a total team effort. Even the guys that aren’t in the rotation right now have been phenomenal in practice, and I think the quality of practice is critical for our development.

And people would want Kyrie to step into this...

Practice? Yes, we talkin' bout practice!

Gotta give Payton credit he frustrated curry all game

Absolutely. It was a team effort. When he got Payton to fly by, Noel contested the 3 pt attempt when he was 10 feet away. Small things matter when playing defense. Really loving this team. They are very well coached

Man, it feels so weird to want us to win when a really exciting draft is coming and we were thought to be a bad team.

But oh yeah, I want to believe! Great stretch for the team, for the future and finally we have Burks back to balance our attack even more!
