LAS VEGAS — Knicks fan can breathe a little bit easier today.
The Knicks new lottery pick, RJ Barrett, came on late to secure a double-double but their 2018 lottery pick had a brutal 3-of-15, four–turnover performance as the Knicks were blasted by the Raptors, 85-72, at Thomas & Mack Center on Tuesday.
The Knicks, who were Vegas betting favorites to win the summer league, fell to 0-3 and will not make the playoff round. They finish up the regular schedule Wednesday against the Lakers.
After two brutal shooting games, Barrett was more in control, moved the ball and got to the basket with more aplomb.
