Knicks move to 11-6 and 2-1 in group play for in-season tournament by beating Charlotte by 28.
If you’re into the cup, big game on Friday against the Bucks at MSG.
Brunson and Hart were great in the win.
Happy thanksgiving

END OF 1Q; Knicks 37, Hornets 31.
Good offense from New York, led by Brunson. 20 points in the paint!
Opposing teams still shooting too comfortably against New York from deep

Then a series of steals after I pressed send
So far, this starting lineup is struggling like you’d think defensively and the offense is doing well like you would have thought

Assuming not setbacks, sounds like best-case scenario given the circumstances/how bad it looked. Knicks can afford to wait a month for Shamet to return. His deal is guaranteed in January.
Shamet is averaging 9.3 points and had been one of the best on-ball defenders.
Shamet is averaging 9.3 points and had been one of the best on-ball defenders.
Landry Shamet (right shoulder sprain) will be re-evaluated in four weeks, per league sources.
Shamet made the team in training camp, is on a non-guaranteed deal. Had a really good start to season.
Unfortunate for him and the Knicks.

Thanks for all the Knicks questions for the mailbag.
Here’s what’s inside:
— Do they “need” to address front court depth?
— Josh Hart’s first convo with Mike Brown
— what if Shamet is out a while?

Hart won defensive player of the game.
Brown said that he loves that Hart talked after last game how the defensive issues was a mentality thing and then went out and provided that energy.
“That’s what leadership is about.”

Much improved second half by the Knicks. They'll move to 10-6 on the season. Charlotte next.
Brunson and KAT filled it up, Josh Hart brought the juice defensively. Good cameos from Clarkson and Kolek, too.

KAT with 37 and 12. His night might be done soon after the spill and a 17-point lead. Still seven minutes left.

I was about to say KAT looks to be in real, real pain.
But after 45 seconds of lying on the ground and squirming, he jumps right up with a slight limp.

Some good defensive possessions by Kolek here in the fourth. Did a good job of guarding Powell one-on-one, leading to a miss. Just took a charge in transition.
