Knicks’ RJ Barrett had a valid excuse for his cold-streak, but turned a corner Vs Spurs

The New York Knicks snapped a three-game losing streak on Tuesday evening against the San Antonio Spurs, dialing up at 121 point performance, thanks to third-year guard RJ Barrett.

Head coach Tom Thibodeau made a few changes in the contest, including starting Nerlens Noel and bringing in Mitchell Robinson off the bench. This seemed to be a productive move, as Robinson played 22 minutes, earning 11 points, 14 rebounds, two steals, and three blocks. Robinson has struggled with stamina lately, but easing him in off the bench and utilizing him in a complementary role sparked his production.
