Knicks: RJ Barrett shines in ugly preseason loss to Detroit

The New York Knicks fell to the Detroit Pistons in their second game of the preseason last night, losing 99-91. With an overall ugly showing from both sides, this game personally left me wondering if the lack of fluidity shown was due to the rust of not having played in nine months, or if it was because these are two of the worst overall rosters in the NBA? Only time will tell.

However, not all was bleak for the Knicks. RJ Barrett, who many fans are hoping will have a breakout season, showed out and lead all scorers with an efficient 25 points on 10-17 shooting from the field and 4-5 from the line.
