The New York Knicks have been playing far better basketball this year than compared to recent seasons. On Friday evening, they completely dominated the Cleveland Cavaliers, holding them to just 81 points. As for New York, second-year player RJ Barrett scored 24 points, connecting on 8-of-19 shots from the field, and rookie Immanuel Quickley once again looked like a star. He finished the night with 25 points on 9-of-17 shooting. It finally seems as if the Knicks have a few younger players that can produce on a daily basis.
Add in Julius Randle and a few solid depth pieces, and the Knicks seem like a team with positive momentum.
