we were already in the foul penalty in the 4th quarter when book came in and made sure we gotv4 team fouls on NY immediately- that's what we missed against the pistons - smartest dude on the court

Dillon has been in a shooting funk for several games now, and he's doing way too many failed ISOs that hurt the team. When Gillespie came to life in the 4th, we had the help Book needed to win the tied game.

Devin Booker knew the adrenaline would kick-in and he would play.

Devin respects the legacy of those who came before him. Also he talks about the significance of Jalen Green returning in the above video.

"I always say when I see young players that come in here that really don't care about it, you're not a true hooper. To have all the (Knicks) alumni here on top of that tonight, a bunch of living legends in the building. You have to feel it man. That's what it's all about. Alot of those guys laid the groundwork for us to get the league where it's at now. You got to show love."

The Suns bench was a huge factor in the win tonight.

They produced 39 points.

The Knicks bench produced only 14 points.

You could feel that Book was hampered by the anke issue at the start of game and more, as his shots felt awkward all through. But he is warrior and made plays when needed.

I’m moving my prediction up to the 5th seed.. we still get a 20+ player in the next game or two to finish out the season. This team is good!

Kind of surprised he gutted it out rather than the home game of sorts in Detroit. He's from Michigan but then he always talks about how special MSG is. We needed this W more considering the loss against the Pistons and Hart played for the Knicks the other day so the timing worked out two fold for us. Hopefully Book won't miss any more time.

it's the urgency right? last year's team just kept dropping games saying they'd figure it out while this team is hyper focused on each contest like it's a freakin playoff game
