The beautiful game is alive and well at MSG. The Knicks cut and passed their way to a dominant 129-107 victory over the Charlotte Hornets in a display of ball movement rarely seen on 33rd and 7th since the 70's. Julius Randle supplemented some bull dozing finesse with quick decision making and a clear intent to make the extra pass, Jalen Brunson was electric in the first quarter, RJ Barrett continued to stroke it from three and make the right play time and again all while Point IQ played a near perfect game. Gavin Schall and Alex Wolfe team up to break down all that plus an all timer from Breen & Clyde. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Betterhelp This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.
