So let’s get the one positive out of the way first... R.J. Barrett played pretty good last night. At least, better than the first two games of Summer League, which isn’t saying that much... But trust me when I say that even the smallest of victories mattered in this slog of a game.
Yeah, the Knicks lost, 85-73. “Got their asses kicked” is probably a more apt way to put it. Just to give a little perspective, I knew that I’d have to recap (recrap?) this game, yet basically stopped paying attention in the third and fourth quarters because it just didn’t feel important anymore.
