After missing the postseason two years ago due to a broken foot, the New York Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson made his mark this time. He averaged 9.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks over the five games and was one of the best players in this one-sided series.
“It was great. First time in the playoffs,” Robinson said. “Derrick Rose tells me all the time: ‘Anchor the defense,’ before every game. So it was something I needed to do and we got it done.”
