The New York Knicks are the team of the moment in the nba and this Sunday they gave a fresh demonstration of why. Those driven by Tom Thibodeau which was presented at the mighty TD Garden Boston Celtics, without Jalen Brunson (pain in left leg) and got a dramatic 131-129 in double overtimeto get to yours ninth straight win. And on the road, being just one game behind Cleveland and fourth in the East.
How did they make up for Branson’s loss? Have an amazing evening Immanuel Quickley, who once again proved why he should be considered the favorite to win the prize Best Sixth Man from 2022-2023.
Quickley ended the night with 38 points (career), 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks and very effective 15-28 from the field, 5-12 on 3-pointers and 3-4 on free throwsexcept he made several key shots between the end of the fourth quarter and overtime.
Despite sharing the court with an All-Star like Julius Randle (31 points and 9 rebounds), who had just scored a game winner in Miamiit was Quickley who took over the reins of the Knicks and led his team to victory against one of the best opponents in the league.
Mid-range specialist (especially with his float), creative with the ball, good arm and absolutely underrated defensivelyQuickley’s 2022-2023 is worthy of a 23-year-old poised to transform into star in the championship. With more exposure and minutes, it looks like he already could be, but of course New York needs him in a different type of role.
The truth is, no bench has had a bigger winning impact than Quickley with the Knicks. When one evaluates the other favorites to fight for sixth man, you find out that these other candidates’ teams have similar numbers or even higher when these excellent replacements are not on the field. The story is very different with the young man from New York.

Of all the favorites for her sixth manQuickley is the the only thing that makes clear positive differences for your team’s performance. When they’re on the court, the Knicks are more than that 8 points every 100 possessions higher than when they are resting. Among those names, Tyrese Maxey is the only other one with barely a positive balance, while Russell Westbrook, Malcolm Brogdon, Malik Monk and Norman Powell show a negative balance. enable/disable.
With a win in his next game against the underdogs Charlotte wasps (Tuesday, at home), the Knicks will reach the 10 consecutive wins for the eighth time in its history (his record is 18 in 1970). And although Brunson and Randle get most of the spotlight in this great gift, Quickley continues to establish himself as a cornerstone, filling the team’s fans with excitement.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
