Derrick Rose scored the most points for the Knicks in the game and ended the night with 22 points. Randle who continues his All-star form scored 16 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Last season, the New York Knicks were successful in the regular season due to their outstanding defence, but their offence was constantly lacking. This season, however, they’ve flipped the switch.
The Knicks have the fourth best offensive rating in the NBA and the 26th best defensive rating. The acquisition of Kemba Walker has increased the team’s performance. Meanwhile, Derrick Rose is resembling his previous All-Star self, while RJ Barrett is providing consistent performance. The Knicks are coming off a sad loss in a game they should have won, so they should be hungry and aggressive right away against the Charlotte Hornets.
