SACRAMENTO — As Mike Miller was conducting his pregame interview Friday night RJ Barrett leaned into the huddle of reporters and asked the Knicks interim coach, “You feeling good about this one?”
Miller responded, “ I’m feeling good. As long as RJ is RJ we can compete.”
Barrett was, well, RJ on Wednesday. He had 22 points and 10 rebounds in a 124-122 overtime win at Golden State; it was Miller’s first victory as an NBA coach.
