There are only a handful of games this year the Knicks figure to go into as favorites, especially on the road. Tonight’s tilt in Atlanta was one. You can imagine how invigorated a fan base must be when they’re home dogs to the Knicks.
The Knicks drew first blood, leading most of the opening frame. One reason for this was Noah Vonleh, who nearly had a double-double in the first nine minutes. Then he sat for about half of the rest of the half, because ¯_(u30c4)_/¯.
Another reason? Frank Ntilikina owns Trae Young’s soul. He covers himself with it while napping, dries off with it after showering, and curls it around his head when he’s pretending to have long, girly-blonde hair.
