The New York Knicks hoped a change of scenery would make things better.
After two straight bad losses to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets, perhaps the Charlotte Hornets would break New York’s cold shooting. They rank 24th in the league in scoring, whereas the Knicks rank 29th. Surely, the Knicks’ Top 5 defense would win out?
So just what happened in the Queen City? Did RJ Barrett’s shooting woes finally cease? Did Julius Randle have another great game?
Gifs, take it away!
1st quarter: Cold night in Carolina
Charlotte led 31-25 after the first quarter, but that score is misleading.
