Well, well, well. For only the second time this season, the New York Knicks are on a three-game winning streak after strolling into Charlotte and whupping the whuppable Jordanaires 121-102. With Toronto losing to Orlando and Philadelphia up big in the fourth on the L.A. Lakers, the Knicks will likely end the night tied for eighth with the Raptors.
The Knicks looked fast, vibrant, loose. Everyone they played is younger than 30. We’ve gone from Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier as the starting backcourt last year to Fournier and Jalen Brunson the opening night guards this year to Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride all playing 24+ minutes tonight, which could be a first.
