Nice run here as the Knicks are out of sync. Saric had a nice pass to Ayton down the lane for a dunk and just finished a tough basket in transition. I think he's the guy needed on the bench with an upgrade at the 4. Saric can play and contribute, he's just overmatched as a starter I think.

Alll-of-a-sudden Baynes is worthless out there.

Baynes should not take any more corner threes.
This season.
Ever.

Baynes was playing at a 10 for the first 12 games or so, now he's a dud. So it's balanced out. He'll come around.

Kinda getting chippy to end the 3rd. Robinson definitely got away with a shove on Rubio coming up court.

He looks tired. His switches are late and whatever lift he had in his shot is gone.

Monty with Rubio, Bridges, Cam, Diallo and Baynes. Not a great lineup offensively and this is where you miss a sparkplug/dribble drive guy like Oubre. Bridges has tried attacking at times but he hasn't show to be a great finisher going towards and around the basket.

Baynes finally hit a 3 from his sweet spot on the right wing.

Bad sub by Monty. Let Booker play with 5 and close the game out. What is he saving him for?

Booker needs to stop the stupid reach/grab fouls after he misses a shot. C'mon ...

Not watching the game tonight but looking at the box score, good work on the glass Ayton.

And then he complains about it or makes Monty challenge.
