Knicks 104, Pistons 102: “Nicely done Burks”

With a little over four minutes to go in the New York Knicks’ 104-102 win over the Detroit Pistons, with the Knicks in possession and what had been a 21-point lead whittled to five, the shot clock was winding down. The set looked bleak: three Knicks are not open and not doing anything about it as Julius Randle reaches for the ball near his feet.

It’s as true for jazz and love as it is for basketball: what you don’t hear or see is where what’s happening’s happening. The one Knick you don’t see in the clip is, if not easily overlooked, often overlooked, despite being one of the more versatile, clutch free agent signings in quite some time.
