Right after bricking eight three-pointers that epitomized one of the New York Knicks‘ worst shooting nights, RJ Barrett went back to the court instead of heading back to their hotel.
‘Magic is in the work’
Tom Thibodeau has always preached, “magic is in the work.”
Barrett and the rest of the Knicks have bought in.
Two nights later, the former third overall pick rediscovered his shooting touch, ironically, against the Indiana Pacers, 106-102, as the Knicks reached .500 for the second time this season.
Barrett started the season with 11-15 shooting, including 3-for-3 from deep against the Pacers.
