Rockets 14 point halftime lead is gone with 2:45 left. Knicks have outscored them 26-12 in the third quarter, and they have 8 offensive rebounds on 14 missed shots. Imagine if Randle, Robinson, or Hartenstein were playing in this game – 9:56 PM

Remember all that stuff about the Rockets holding their own on the boards in the first half? Not so much in the second half. Knicks have outrebounded them 10-2 in the first six minutes of the half. – 9:46 PM

Knicks played that first half in mud. Really tough for them to create anything. Brooks did a great job on Brunson and Knicks just couldn’t get middle comfortably to create anything. Not easy, with the injuries, to create easy offense when Brunson struggles the way he has so far. – 9:17 PM

Rockets 57, Knicks 43 at half. Fewest points Rockets have allowed in a half this season. Knicks shoot 40.9 %, 5 of 18 on 3s. Smith with 13, Green, 11, Brooks and Sengun 10 apiece. DiVincenzo with 16. He’s 4 of 9 on 3s. Rest of Knicks 1 of 9. – 9:16 PM

Thought on Knicks trade 4 2 Pistons; I understand why they did it, 4 outside shooting. But pair have been losing a long time. Wonder if they’ll be able to adapt to Knicks’ way of winning. Moreover, I question confidence of anybody losing hair so young. See outgoing Frenchman. – 9:00 PM

Knicks are the NBA’s best rebounding team. houstonchronicle.com/texas-sports-n… Rockets doing a fine job on the boards early. Have outscored Knicks 8-5 in second-chance points, likely leading to this New York time out. – 8:44 PM

Right now, with Brunson out the Knicks have four 40% 3-point shooters on the floor – if they ever played Brunson with these four someone with a better search engine can tell me if there ever has been a 5-man lineup with all 40% this late in the season. – 8:40 PM

This doesn’t happen often – and won’t likely stick – but Knicks who are not Brunson are 9-for-14 and Jalen is 0-for-5 right now. Dillon Brooks was trying to stay on him when in, fighting through screens and avoiding switches. – 8:35 PM

In his latest comedy routine from Josh Hart today, the Knicks forward told me he was surprised that no white players are in the 3-point contest.
“I guess they’re just trying to push the white guys out. They’re trying to take over their event.” – 7:59 PM
