I don’t care how late in the season it is or how lost the season is, these kind of wins are so goddamn fun.
The Knicks got up big on the Rockets early and led by as much as 21, but of course the Rockets came back. And when it came down to it late... RJ Barrett got the ball?? What is this madness?
The Don, the Godfather, the Kingpin himself Leon Rose looked very pleased with RJ Barrett getting his first real shot to close a game for the Knicks this year, and then he was just as pleased when Frank Ntilikina locked down Russell Westbrook seconds later:
RJ finished with 27 points on 10-18 shooting with five rebounds and five assists, including 14 in the first quarter just a week after he did the same thing in Houston.
