Behind the Knicks‘ back-to-back successes is definitely the work done by Mitchell Robinson who has been lauded by Tom Thibodeau:
“He’s really great. He always guards the basket, he makes good decisions, he guards the pick and roll and then on offense, his offensive rebound, so he pressures the basket.
They often have two people set on him and that opens things up. We get a tip or a scrum and it’s a kickout and it’s a 3. So, he keeps playing to your strengths, and he’s been playing great basketball for us.”
