From Marc Berman:

It was an important battle of left-handed stallions of energy whereas Zion Williamson was nose to nose with Julius Randle.

However the recreation was determined by the Knicks’ backcourt of Derrick Rose and Reggie Bullock, propelling the Knicks to their sixth consecutive victory, 122-112 in extra time, over the Pelicans to maneuver their report to a report of 31-27 the very best of season.

The Knicks recovered from a six-point deficit within the last 1:30 – topped by Rose main the inbounds by driving down the observe and having the means to make a cross to Bullock, who drained the sport by drawing 3 factors from the left nook with 2.3 seconds remaining. The Pelicans could have dirty Rose, however they will think about that he’s going for straightforward 2.

Maybe there’s something concerning the atrophy of teaching expertise, as a result of these two Knicks / Pelicans clashes had been embarrassing, as Thibs skilled rings round Van Gundy, who was once an excellent coach in Orlando. However SVG was horrible in Detroit, and in some way, it is even worse right here in New Orleans. They really want to fireside that man.

Anyway, one other unimaginable victory. In some ways, it’s precisely the identical sort of pleasure that we noticed once they had been dropping these powerful video games, however now they’re to do the final second shot as a substitute of lacking them. It actually makes all of the distinction.

4 video games over 0.500! Wow! Hopefully they will proceed towards the Hornets subsequent time! Hmmm … Future Knick Terry Rozier, perhaps?
