Knicks, RJ Barrett flops the MSG but he is already thinking about the Bucks

Against the Philadelphia 76ers, RJ Barrett missed 13 of 15 shots in a nightmare following a season opener of 26 points in Wednesday’s defeat to Indiana. He joined early defense partner Elfrid Payton to shoot only 2 of 21 for the game and 0 of 9 by 3 points.

“Whatever happens, you can’t have a great night of shooting every night. I have another game tomorrow”, Barrett said, referring to Sunday’s game against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks at Garden. “I was trying to do other things to keep me in the game, do other things to influence the game. me. It’s about the success of the team. And whether I shoot well or I shoot badly, it’s always a question of the team”.
