We've all made bad choices after a 6-hr plane delay. Eating too many Auntie Anne's, releasing your franchise legend, etc

Despite a poor shooting night, Landry Shamet led the Knicks in +/- in large part due to also leading the team in deflections (8) and shots contested (11).
Shamet did a solid job defending both Wiggins and Norm Powell, who has been nearly unstoppable this season.
