And five for the Knicks, easy winners of the Blazers

I’ve never hosted an entire evening Nix obviously didn’t do well (127-97) vs Blazersto achieve their fifth consecutive success. With the excellent collective effort of the entire team, Jalen Brunson (26 points) do Karl-Anthony Towns (14 points, 20 rebounds), pass And the Anunobi (24 points) or Josh Hart (20 points).

in front, Shaedon Sharpe (26 points) certainly showed, but was much more isolated, while Portland was far from the level he showed New Yorkat Madison Square Garden. So Mike Brown’s players only needed a big first quarter (37-22) to propel themselves to this authoritarian victory.

As usual, Jalen Brunson led his teammates with 13 of his 26 points, while the Karl-Anthony Towns-Mitchell Robinson duo did a good job under the boards. The 3-point skill was there around Brunson and the Blazers started shooting because of it, especially conceding this 20-7 which will be fatal for them in a way.

Because, subsequently, the Knicks generally ran their game, only allowing Shaddon Sharpe and the Portland bench to get back to -8 during the second quarter after being -24. It was then necessary to pick up the pace after the break and it was OG Anunoby and Josh Hart who combined to spark a run that would give the locals around twenty points.

Skilled from distance, more dominant in the offensive rebound and cleaner with the ball, New York’s football players added a layer in the final act, with Karl-Anthony Towns and the Anunoby/Hart tandem. History of delivering the final blow to the visitors, stunned and trailing by as many as 33 points.

Except he wasn’t helped by Danny Avdia’s poor game, completely shut down by New York’s defense.

WHAT TO REMEMBER

– New York at the exhibition. Ten days ago, the Knicks were still in crisis, with nine losses in eleven matches, but now they have come back well with their five wins in a row. This fifth success, otherwise synonymous with the Blazers’ fourth straight loss, will therefore take shape mainly in the first quarter, when Jalen Brunson got angry at the end, to start a decisive 20-7 run. He then let his teammates do the work, especially the trio of Hart-Anunoby-Towns, who further forced the decision upon returning from the locker room.

– Karl-Anthony Towns connects with Jaylen Johnson. Omnipresent under the circle, with his big “double-double”, Karl-Anthony Towns uses the same opportunity to return to Jalen Johnson, in the rank of players who have the most “double-doubles” this season: 31, in 45 matches.
