Alec Burks misses Knicks’ win vs. Pistons with shoulder injury
Alec Burks sprained his shooting shoulder and was ruled out of Monday’s 124-99 win against his former team. Tom Thibodeau said the 32-year-old, who has struggled with his shot since being traded from the Pistons, attended the morning’s shootaround with the intention of playing before being sidelined. Even though Burks missed the Knicks’ first game, […]
Monty Williams appears to shade how Donte DiVincenzo broke Knicks’ 3-point record
Monty Williams’ last few trips to Madison Square Garden didn’t seem like he had a good time. In a recent visit, the Pistons coach was thrilled to be on the other side of the Knicks’ franchise-record 11 3-pointers made by Donte DiVincenzo in a 124-99 win over the Knicks on Monday night. I hadn’t. Head […]
Knicks Josh Hart ‘committed’ to fixing 3-point shot with JJ Redick
Josh Hart has been a triple-double threat for the Knicks lately, with six triple-doubles in eight weeks since his first career game on January 30th. His most recent smorgasbord of stats came in Monday’s blowout win over the Pistons, where he had 11 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in 39 minutes. Still, the indispensable […]
Evan Fournier not surprised Donte DiVincenzo is erasing his Knicks records
Evan Fournier was already prepared to be erased from the Knicks’ record books once this season, but now it looks like he could be knocked out twice by the same player. Donte DiVincenzo made 11 3-pointers in Monday’s blowout win over the Pistons, one more than the previous record Fournier shared with J.R. Smith. DiVincenzo […]
Julius Randle’s extended absence a Knicks concern before playoffs
Another game, another DNP for Julius Randle. And as the pre-playoff hourglass nears empty, questions about Randle’s rust become more real. “I’m always worried,” Tom Thibodeau said. “About everything.” Julius Randle has yet to return to action for the Knicks since dislocating his right shoulder. Noah K. Murray writes for the New York Post To […]
Donte DiVincenzo sets Knicks’ single-game 3-point record
Donte DiVincenzo could add the Knicks’ single-game record to his eventual single-season record. The sharp-shooting guard set a franchise record with 11 3-pointers and scored a career-high 40 points in a hilarious 124-99 victory over the Pistons. DiVincenzo, who surpassed the 10 treys made by New York’s Evan Fournier and J.R. Smith, hit a record-breaking […]
How Donte DiVincenzo is approaching quest for Knicks 3-point history
Donte DiVincenzo started this season as a reserve. He could end this game with the best 3-point shooting in Knicks history. After his impressive performance in Saturday’s win over the Nets, DiVincenzo is now 18 treys away from matching Evan Fournier’s 2022 season record of 241. DiVincenzo told the Post that he’s passionate about being […]
Knicks switch out Precious Achiuwa for Jericho Sims at backup center spot
Tom Thibodeau made a rotation change in Saturday’s 105-93 win over the Nets, replacing Precious Achiuwa with Jericho Sims as backup center. The coach said the tactic relied on a need for strength, which is probably no coincidence after the Knicks were bullied and outrebounded by the Nuggets two days earlier. “I thought what we […]
Nets’ stamina runs out in fourth-quarter collapse vs. Knicks
The Nets tied the score in the fourth quarter, but they forgot how to score. Or maybe the Knicks’ defense gave them amnesia. On Saturday, the Nets suffered a 105-93 loss in front of a sold-out crowd of 19,812 at the Garden, a game in which the Nets clearly foresee another late-game collapse, and sadly… […]
Knicks picking up slack for Jalen Brunson just part of team’s identity
We’ve all been there. If you’ve ever logged in at the gym or playground, there are days when you show up and can’t do anything. Wide open jumper. layup. drive. Sometimes it will fall off and spin out. Sometimes it’s even uglier than that. That’s where Jalen Brunson was at Madison Square Garden on Saturday […]
