The New York Knicks will welcome the Charlotte Hornets to Madison Square Garden for an NBA game on Tuesday. The New York Knicks won 129-131 in their last game over the Celtics. Immanuel Quickley scored a career-high 38 points, playing 55 minutes in place of injured starter Jalen Brunson, and the New York Knicks outlasted the Boston Celtics 131-129 in two overtimes Sunday night for their season-high ninth straight victory.
Quickley had seven points in the second overtime and added eight rebounds and seven assists with Brunson sidelined because of soreness in his left foot. “It was a huge performance by him,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. “I was going to give him rest at the start of the fourth, but then he knocked down a couple of shots and I thought the game was in the balance right there.”
Julius Randle had 31 points and nine rebounds, and RJ Barrett finished with 29 points and 11 boards for the Knicks, who held on when Boston’s Al Horford front-rimmed a 3-pointer from the right corner just before the final buzzer. “I just think I rushed it a little bit,” Horford said. “I felt like I didn’t stay with my shot long enough.”
The Charlotte Hornets on the other hand lost 102-86 against the Nets in their last game. Kelly Oubre Jr. had 17 points and Mark Williams added 10 points and 14 rebounds for the Hornets, who have lost three consecutive games. “For the most part, these guys have handled an incredible amount of bad luck and adversity all year,” Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. “We played really hard. Our effort and energy have been the best things that we’ve done. Tonight was not the case.”
Charlotte trailed by as many as 37 in the third quarter before going on a 22-2 run which spanned the final three minutes of the period and the first two of the final quarter. Svi Mykhailiuk’s 3-pointer off a pass from Dennis Smith Jr. cut the Nets’ lead 86-71 with 10:13 to play in the fourth. “You’ve got to get more stops and get more possessions,” Oubre said. “Doing the dirty work, limit the offensive team to just one shot.”
Bridges helped the Nets pull away in the first quarter with 4:47 remaining after Gordon Hayward connected on a pair of shots. Dinwiddie found Bridges for a jumper that keyed a 10-0 run, which he capped with a 13-foot shot to make it 28-17. Terry Rozier’s layup ended the scoring drought for the Hornets, but the Nets closed out the quarter with an 8-2 spurt highlighted by Bridges’ 12-foot jumper that extended the lead 36-21 before time expired.
