It’s the start of the fourth quarter, and the New York Knicks are down 86-83 to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Knicks start the fourth with a lineup of Immanuel Quickley-Miles McBride-RJ Barrett-Julius Randle-Isaiah Hartenstein. It’s not unusual as Brunson and Quentin Grimes usually take a rest to start the fourth. Randle typically rests to start the fourth, but coach Tom Thibodeau opted to have him out there.
RJ & Randle check out:
Those five play together until Jalen Brunson checks in at 7:13 for McBride.
