NEW YORK — A crushing screen from Bam Adebayo sent Quentin Grimes tumbling onto the Madison Square Garden floor Wednesday night. Grimes' awkward step and a banged knee left him on his rear end, flailing in pain, right above the basketball of the Knicks’ logo at midcourt.
He was stranded far from the play, only capable of hobbling back to find his defensive assignment, the ever dangerous Jimmy Butler, who had leaked out to the left wing. And even with that squeaky wheel, Grimes stood his ground as the ball swung back Butler’s direction with 1:45 remaining in Game 5.
