As everybody knew before tip-off, the Knicks ended up beating the Bucks on Tuesday.
Wednesday, however? That’s an entirely different beast, as New York hosts Cleveland.
A different beast, I mean, as they wear red threads instead of green ones. Other than that, this one’s also ending in yet another easy Knicks’ dub.

“He’s just got a nose or a knack for the ball. You know he doesn’t jump real high, but he’s long, and he understands angles.
“KAT’s in that category when it comes to rebounding. We emphasize it quite a bit, and we tell guys, ‘You gotta put bodies on bodies.’ So if our small is on other people around him or putting bodies on bodies, it’s a one-on-one contest for KAT, and he’s gonna win most times.”
On Towns recording a double-double in each of the Knicks’ first 10 games:
“He continues to be a double-double machine at a high level.”

Could have gone to Landry as well. But just a fantastic job at the point of the screen in pick-and-rolls. [The Bucks] had two 13-point quarters and I’m sure they missed some shots, but I thought we also impacted their shots with our play.”

“From what they’ve told me, correct me if I’m wrong, if he was not sick, he would (have played).”
On Jose Alvarado’s rotation fallout:

“We’ll go with who we go with until we feel that it’s time to go to the next guy. So again, it’s not anything negative right now on Jose or even Tyler when he’s out. They just got to be ready to play when their number’s called, and both of them are trying to do that.”
