After a sluggish start to the season, the New York Knicks seem to have gotten back on course. The team turned in a fantastic week, posting victories against the Clippers, Spurs, and Hornets, respectively. The offense finally started to click, and as a result, shooting splits improved dramatically.
A strong 111-point output against the Clippers spoiled the debut of James Harden, who recently became the punching bag of the media (see Brian Dameris rant). Two days later, the Knicks exploded for 126 points, this time playing spoiler to Victor Wembanyama's first MSG appearance. Finally, in a Sunday matinee at the Garden, the team one-upped themselves yet again.
Despite all this, the road to a championship is always a winded one. For the Knicks, one player had to make a jump to even begin thinking about a bid at a trophy. RJ Barrett. And man, has he delivered so far this season. RJ Barrett's game log this week: vs. LAC: 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3PT), 6 rebounds, 4 assists vs. SA: 24 points (8-17 FG, 5-9 3PT), 2 rebounds, 6 assists vs. CHA: 24 points (9-16 FG, 4-6 3PT), 4 rebounds, 2 assists Woah.
