When the New York Knicks demolished the Houston Rockets by 25 points on Sunday evening, most assumed the result. The Rockets are one of the worst teams in the NBA, if not the worst, so the Knicks blowing them out was nothing short of an expectation. However, the Memphis Grizzlies offered a different level of opponent, which didn’t stop New York from testing them to shred anyway.
Winning by 14 points, the Knicks have learned how to finish games, utilizing an astounding success percentage from downtown and defensive aggression. In the victory, Julius Randle posted 28 points, hitting 5-of-8 shots from 3-PT.
