Randle & Brunson Combine For 72 Points In Knicks 4th Straight Win | New York Knicks

THERE WAS TOO MUCH JULIUS RANDLE AND JALEN BRUNSON. THE KNICKS FANS ARE HAPPY, THE KNICKS ARE 21-15, THEY ARE SIX GAMES OVER .500. FOUR STRAIGHT WINS, SWEEPING THE ROAD BACK TO BACK AND THEY NOW COME HOME FEELING REALLY GOOD ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE 4-0 AFTER THE

TRADE. A PERFECT NIGHT TO WATCH THE KNICKS DOMINATE THE GAME AND DISPEL THE RUMOR THAT THIS WAS A TRAP GAME. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT AT THE BEGINNING, IN THE PREGAME, WHAT IS A TRAP GAME WHEN YOU ARE A RATE PLAYER — GREAT PLAYER. I LIKE TO WATCH THIS.

THIS IS WHAT ALL-STARS DO, EVERY REASON AND WHY THIS IS TRAP GAME THING, IT IS A MEDIA THING. IT IS NOT A PLAYER THING AT ALL. WITH SOME OF THE TEAMS WHEN YOU HAVE GUYS LIKE JALEN BRUNSON AND JULIUS RANDLE WHO COME TO WORK EVERY DAY, NOT MAKING EXCUSES AND ARE READY TO

PLAY, THE TRAP GAME WILL NOT HAPPEN. THE WAY THAT YOU PREPARE AND WORK DAILY, THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL COME WHEN YOU BUILD THE FOUNDATION AND THE BUILDING BLOCKS, IT IS FUN TO SEE THE TEAM CONTINUE TO REACH NEW HEIGHTS. THE DEFENSE FIRST — FORCED 20 TURNOVERS.

WHEN YOU ARE BAD, YOU KNOW YOU ARE BAD. WHEN A GOOD TEAM GOES ON A RUN LIKE THIS, THEY WANT TO HIT THE SHOWER ALREADY AND THIS IS WHAT THE KNICKS DID TO THE WASHINGTON WIZARDS, IT WAS AN OUTSTANDING EFFORT.

THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO BE ELITE IN THE LEAD, THE KNICKS GETTING BETTER AND THEY ARE MAKING MOVES TO COMPETE WITH THE ELITE TEAMS LIKE BOSTON, MILWAUKEE AND PHILADELPHIA. BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE GAMES THAT YOU SHOULD WIN IN THE LEAGUE.

JULIUS RANDLE AND JALEN BRUNSON HAVE BEEN TERRIFIC AND THE REST OF THE LEAGUE NEEDS TO TAKE LOTUS — NOTICE. I HOPE THAT THE TEAM CONTINUES TO MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I JUST NEEDED TO GET THIS ONE OUT. WHEN YOU HAVE STARS LIKE THAT, IT IS NOT A TRAP GAME.

USE SOD DIFFERENT WAYS TO WIN IN THE GAME LAST NIGHT AND HERE, THE BENCH WAS TREMENDOUS, THE TRANSITION POINTS WERE TREMENDOUS LAST NIGHT. TODAY YOU HAD TO GET BACK TO THE STARS AND LEADERSHIP. JALEN BRUNSON IS MINDFUL OF THE LEADERSHIP, WE CANNOT GET TOO FAR AHEAD AND CELEBRATE FOR A

LONG. AS A LEADER FOR THE SQUAD, SETTING THE TEMPO. PERSONALLY WHEN THE GAME STARTED, I WAS WONDERING IF JULIUS RANDLE WAS PRESSING A LITTLE BIT TRYING TO BOUNCE BACK FROM THE LESS THAN STELLAR PERFORMANCE. HE QUICKLY FOUND RHYTHM AND THERE IS FRANKLY NOTHING THAT THE WIZARDS COULD SLOW HIM DOWN.

THEY WERE ABLE TO COMPETE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS ONLY GOING TO CONTINUE TO CARRY THEM. SPIN OUT I CALLED SOME FRIENDS ON THE WIZARD SAID, THEY SAID THIS IS A TOUGH TICKET TO GET TONIGHT. LET ME TELL YOU, THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE WIZARDS FANS, IT

WAS BECAUSE OF THE ORANGE AND BLUE IN THE STANDS. IT WAS A PART OR — PARTY IN D.C. FOR THE FANS, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE KNICKS FANS TRAVEL WELL AND THEY SHOULD VOTE

The Knicks remain undefeated since the trade that landed OG Anunoby in New York as they win their 4th straight, this time over the Wizards in Washington. Julius Randle had 39 points and Jalen Brunson had 33 in the 121-105 win. The Knicks have 2 days rest then host Portland in The Garden on Tuesday.
