This wasn’t the substitution the Knicks paid $107 million to make.
But there Tom Thibodeau was, with 6:51 left in the fourth quarter, subbing out RJ Barrett in favor of Immanuel Quickley, the third-year guard who has become a defensive spark. That’s how it stayed — through the rest of regulation, through all of overtime and the final 11:51 in total — in theQuickley played 39 minutes, his most since Dec. 31, while adding 19 points and eight assists.
“We were just looking for our group to get going,” Thibodeau said. “The group that was out there was what we went with.” Quickley also contributed offensively, as he extended his streak dating back to Dec. 22 of scoring in double-digits in all but one game. In overtime, with the Knicks needing a response, Quickley drove past Russell Westbrook and lifted a shot over Anthony Davis’ outstretched hand, banking it in while falling to the ground.Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post
