We won due to our interior defense. The Knicks shot 31% from <6ft
Porzingis was a beast in the paint defensively.
Hot take: Kornet was fine.
This has been my argument all summer. He’s just fine.
For PP, we need him to be aggressive. He settled for 3 three pointers.
Tbf, he was also super wide open on most of those shots. He just missed them. I think he’s just allowing the stars to be the engines of the offense, but there was a little stretch in the 4th where he was a little more aggressive.
Jrue aka ‘Fat Boy’ was our best Randle defender
JB and DWhite contained Brunson, Jrue not so much
Brunson and Randle having terrible games helped us win this one. Good D in general this game.
