NEW YORK (AP) — If the Knicks are supposed to be tanking, someone forgot to tell their back-ups.
Emmanuel Mudiay, Mitchell Robinson and the rest of the New York Knicks who came off the bench outscored the Orlando Magic’s reserves by a whopping 75-7 in a 108-103 win on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Mudiay finished with 19 points and Robinson added 17 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks, and three steals to help the Knicks win their second straight game at home after they dropped 18 in a row at MSG.
Robinson joined Ralph Sampson (1984) and David Robinson (1989) as the only rookies to post those numbers in a game since blocks became an official stat in 1973-73.
