The New York Knicks didn’t miss a beat after spending the last few days resting on a short break. They easily dismantled a bad Houston Rockets team, and like all great teams should do, they dominated the contest.
The Knicks won by a score of 122-96, controlling the game throughout and allowing some of their bench players to earn minutes. Julius Randle once again was unstoppable, posting 31 points and shooting 13-of-22 from the field. RJ Barrett, who played 40 minutes, had 21, with seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals in the victory. Off the bench, Derrick Rose contributed 24 and Immanuel Quickley 13, showcasing their ability to produce consistently and adequate depth.
