— Josh Hart’s first convo with Mike Brown
— what if Shamet is out a while?

Hart won defensive player of the game.
Brown said that he loves that Hart talked after last game how the defensive issues was a mentality thing and then went out and provided that energy.
“That’s what leadership is about.”

Brown is emptying the bench with about three minutes left.
Much improved second half by the Knicks. They'll move to 10-6 on the season. Charlotte next.
Brunson and KAT filled it up, Josh Hart brought the juice defensively. Good cameos from Clarkson and Kolek, too.

KAT with 37 and 12. His night might be done soon after the spill and a 17-point lead. Still seven minutes left.

I was about to say KAT looks to be in real, real pain.
But after 45 seconds of lying on the ground and squirming, he jumps right up with a slight limp.

Some good defensive possessions by Kolek here in the fourth. Did a good job of guarding Powell one-on-one, leading to a miss. Just took a charge in transition.

KAT, after hitting a 3, got a steal and tried to toss an oop to Yabusele. Yabu missed the layup.

Knicks starting to pull away now, up 14 after a KAT 3.

The Knicks went 3-14 from 3 in that first half.
Over the last two weeks, not including tonight, they’re shooting 34% from 3 (which ranks 19th in the NBA during that span) while ranking fifth in attempts.

Knicks led by as many as 12 and looked like they might put this one out of reach, but now they only lead by three going into half

Knicks just have no energy. Nets are getting offensive rebound after offensive rebound. MPJ is stepping into wide-open 3s but he's just missing them.
New York looks like a bad defensive team that also just spent eight days on the road.
