Third victory in a row for the Knicks who pass easily to Charlotte, spreading in the second half with 66 points scored and taking advantage of the seven players in double figures: “It’s a lot of fun when everyone is in rhythm: the energy on the parquet is contagious” , Randle explains, while Terry Rozier’s 24 points and Kelly Oubre Jr.’s 22 points are not enough for the Hornets – useless on his 27th birthday (for the seventh time both over 20 but with Charlotte ko).
The protagonist once again is Julius Randle, author of 33 points with 9/21 shooting, four triples on target, seven rebounds, a couple of assists and +17 plus/minus, alongside an 11-point Jalen Brunson and 11 assists, while RJ Barrett scored 26 points with 50% shooting, in an evening that brought the Knicks record back to 50% and allowed the New York team to cohabitate the 7th place in the standings East.
