Mitchell Robinson and Steven Adams racing for offensive rebound records is McGwire-Sosa for the nerds.

Just great ball movement in transition from the Knicks, everyone for Miami gets sucked into the paint.

Stat I was surprised to see: The Knicks give up the FEWEST FGAs at the rim per game in the league per @nba.com tracking stats. Going to continue to monitor that, especially as Mitch plays more.

He used to be one of the most fun guys to watch. Really a shame if that’s the kind of performance he’s putting on consistently.

Spectacular sequence from Bridges who hustles back to disrupt the MEM fast break before sprinting the length of the floor for the easy lay-up. Morant's lack of interest in this game continues as he gets toasted by Mikal here.

Here he gets the switch and attacks immediately drawing the foul. Nice creativity from the offense and good decisions from KAT.

Loving these KAT inverted pick-and-rolls with deuce as the screener. This time he simply steps back and drains the three. (1/2)

The play before they used the same strategy on this DHO to Brunson leading to the Deuce triple. Brunson making the right play.

Grizzlies throwing soft double teams at Brunson off pick-and-rolls doesn't seem like the best option. Here he hits Hart on the pocket pass resulting in an OG dunk

Interesting stat around NYK's shot clock mgmt. However, it does feel like NYK is making better use of time vs. last season. They are making more passes per game (rank 5th in NBA this season vs. 18th last year), moving faster on OFF (13th in OFF speed vs. 27th) & driving more (6th in drives vs. 16th)

The story of these last two games has been Mitch's game-changing activity. This play counted in the box score as an OReb for OG, but we know who deserves the credit.

A lot to like here. Hart setting the screen well before half court forcing the switch. Brunson blows by Randle and draws two, putting MIN in rotation. Hart (4/5 from 3 tonight!) attacks the closeout and watch OG set the screen and point to Brunson who knocks down the three.

Mitch was an absolute beast on the offensive glass tonight. Total game changer on that end. When he’s on the floor, opponents can’t afford to hide bigs on Hart because he’ll just destroy you on the boards.

I love watching OG fight through screens. He's so physical, he's able to take the contact here and still cut off CJ McCollum. Then, the anticipation and length to get this steal and run out. Masterclass from OG.

Here's a good way to counteract the ball-pressure WAS is throwing at Brunson. Pitch to KAT, fake the DHO and cut backdoor. Another hockey assist for KAT as Brunson hits Shamet for the corner 3.

Knicks tried to run this play again to get KAT playmaking at the elbow. But, Deuce forgets the play and screens for OG instead of Mikal. You see Mikal clap frustratedly at Deuce then talk to him after the play.

Mike Brown called a timeout to try and put the nail in the coffin here. Always interesting to see what a coach calls in that situation. Here he goes back to the Brunson/KAT PnR. Leads to a Brunson and-1 who proceeds to somehow conjure a cup of water and throw it to the ground.

I heard some people say that Clarkson can pass better than his reputation when he signed with NYK but I did not know he had this in his bag. Live dribble whip pass to the corner right in the shooter's pocket for Shamet. Dime.

Glad to see OG getting more on-ball playmaking opportunities. Nice on-the-move feed here to Bridges who remains the best cutter on the team. This is the vision for taking some of the playmaking burden off Brunson's shoulders.

Brunson and KAT both have to tell OG to vacate the corner so NYK can run an empty side PnR with Brunson and KAT. I've been wanting more JB + KAT actions. This gets KAT out in space and Hart does a nice job of cutting knowing that Giddey has abandoned him.

NYK finally came back to this play, getting KAT the ball at the elbow to make a play. This one has reliably gotten the Knicks something good.

Brutal crunch time for KAT. Two wide open missed threes, defensive miscues. Need him to get right.

One benefit of having Mitch back: his gravity as a legit lob threat around the rim. OG had just hit a three in this corner and look how open he is here because of Patrick Williams having to collapse on the Mitch roll.

nice little pin-in screen from Shamet here to free up Bridges for the corner three. Mikal has been so good to start the season.

This is in terms of raw plus/minus by the way. This lineup is +10 in 19 minutes across three games.

The lineup of Kolek/Shamet/Bridges/OG/KAT has also been +10, though just for 3 mins during 1 game.

Can't help but enjoy the bit of irony that the Knicks' best lineup through four games under Brown has been Brunson/Bridges/Hart/OG/Towns.

I hear you. Rough hart game. But that KAT sequence in the 3rd quarter tipped the scales. Bizarre outing.
