against … the Knicks, back on December 4, in the first game after Tom Thibodeau tightened his rotation.
"We did what we needed to do," Knicks All-Star Julius Randle said after a disruptive effort that saw New York rack up 14 steals, five blocked shots and."I feel like we've been playing well all series on the defensive end. Only thing that hurts us, really, is our turnovers. We had a lot of turnovers in the second quarter last game. So we cleaned that up, and we was able to get stops and execute.
“I think if you allow the outside noise to overflow into the floor, you can overthink it, right?” Bickerstaff said. “At the end of the day, our message to our guys is, no matter what, it’s five-on-five basketball, and if you focus on the work that's in front of you, none of the other stuff that's outside the lines matters … If you allow those things to be a distraction, they can impact you. But if you just go out and do the job that's in front of you, you'll be fine.
