RJ Barrett taking his Knicks debut dud in stride

The game being called in the fourth quarter amid precautionary concerns about the swaying scoreboard overshadowed Barrett’s dud-of-a-debut.
Forcing many attempts, the lefty Duke product shot 4-for-18 — 1-for-8 from beyond the 3-point stripe — to tally 10 points.
Barrett admitted that “some guys got kind of tired I guess,” and maybe that had something to do with his poor shooting. But he made no other excuse.
