The New York Knicks defeated the Houston Rockets 124-118 in a comeback win at Madison Square Garden, despite missing OG Anunoby. Coach Tom Thibodeau praised his team's ability to win in various ways, highlighting their fourth-quarter response and adaptability. Precious Achiuwa stepped up defensively, showcasing his versatility and ability to guard multiple positions. The team also dealt with Mitchell Robinson's mild ankle sprain, demonstrating a focus on treatment and readiness for future games. The victory emphasized the Knicks' resilience and depth in overcoming player absences while maintaining physical gameplay.
You have to win games different ways. We knew it would be that type of game...but we found a way to win. I love the way we responded in the fourth quarter.
We're going through an adjustment, obviously, with OG out, different guys stepping in. I thought Precious, his defense helped a lot, just because of the switchability that we have with him.
Versatility, athleticism, can guard multiple positions, he can switch one through five. Run the floor, play with pace, very good in the pocket.
It's good that it's a mild sprain. Just work your way through the treatment and get ready to go. Next guy get in there and get the job done.
