First was Miles McBride, greeted as he walked to the Knicks’ bench with a high five from Tom Thibodeau. The other four Knicks received one as well.
Clearly, Thibodeau was pleased by what he was seeing, as the Knicks were in the process of dismantling the Hornets, 121-102, at Spectrum Center.
Quentin Grimes and McBride have given the Knicks an infusion of youth, and two defensive-minded players. The improvements of late on the defensive end have enabled the Knicks to survive a few shaky performances from Jalen Brunson, who missed 13 of his 16 shots in the win. He did have 11 assists. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau looks on during the first quarter against the Charlotte Hornets at Spectrum Center.The Knicks didn’t close out the first half well, allowing the Hornets to cut their 11-point lead nearly in half in the final minute. It was 55-49 at the break, in part because of the Knicks’ shooting woes from deep and their shaky paint defense. Charlotte, in particular Oubre, pounded them inside for 32 points.
The Knicks best stretch of the first half came late in the second quarter, in a 12-2 run that featured five points from Randle. He was the Knicks’ best player in the first half, scoring 19 points along with four rebounds, and Robinson was a monster inside, with five offensive rebounds and three blocked shots.
