Well back in the Knicks’ rotation, Kemba Walker is getting everyone to agree in the Big Apple. The leader was still precious this Saturday evening, with an extremely rare stat.
After a big season last year, the Knicks won their ticket to Christmas Day this year. We expected a lot from this team, which has disappointed in recent weeks with many defeats. This December 25, it was an opportunity to relaunch, and Evan Fournier’s teammates responded.
Against Atlanta, the Knicks took the victory 101-87 with 20 three-pointers, the second biggest score in history for a Christmas Day. Fournier got the job done with 15 points and 5 rebounds, while Quentin Grimes shone with 15 units, including 5 award-winning shots in this game.
Le show Kemba Walker continue !
But the one who still marked the spirits is Kemba Walker, on fire since his return in the starting 5. After cards with 44 points in particular, the leader achieved a triple-double face in Atlanta (10 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists). Believe it or not, but it’s a pretty rare occurrence on Christmas Day!
