The New York Knicks achieved a strong 116-95 victory against the Miami Heat, ending Miami's streak of eight consecutive losses. The Knicks' performance included a solid comeback after a slow start, with significant contributions from their bench. Coach Tom Thibodeau praised player Mitchell Robinson for his defensive impact, particularly alongside teammate Karl-Anthony Towns. Robinson's improvement since returning from injury was noted, highlighting his ability to make multiple defensive efforts. Overall, the team displayed resilience and energy, marking a successful return to form after a challenging stretch.
"Obviously we started the game slowly. I thought our bench gave us a good lift to get out of the hole. The way we played in the third quarter - lotta energy, I thought the defense was terrific."
"He’s such a huge factor. And particularly when you have him and KAT out there together, you have two 7-footers... the basket’s protected."
"You’re seeing more and more multiple-effort plays from him. I think his timing is coming around, so he’s moving great and he feels great."
"We had a lot of guys step up. It was a tough game coming off the West Coast and to be ready to go. But I thought our team responded well."
