The absolute star at the Knicks is Julius Randle, author of 34 points with 17 rebounds, 10/19 shooting, 6/12 from the arc, a perfect 8/8 for free throws, to which he also adds 5 assists and an eloquent +29 plus/minus: he literally succeeds everything on the parquet, in a quintet expertly led by a Quentin Grimes who also finds effectiveness on an offensive level for one evening, finishing with 23 points, 5/7 from the arc and four rebounds, while getting hurt at home Knicks is Obi Toppin – stopped by a problem with his right knee.
Heavy defeat for Trae Young’s Hawks, who shows up at Madison Square Garden with the words “King of Broadway” on his shoes, but is overwhelmed by the Knicks without being able to oppose in a challenge in which the guests lose after 4 minutes of play for injury Dejounte Murray – stopped by a problem with his left ankle and they don’t go beyond 19 points with 9/20 shooting by the aforementioned Young, well over a double-digit disadvantage for the entire second half of the game.
