Excellent from the start, the former Choletais allowed the Knicks to get off to a perfect start, scoring 13 units in the first quarter. Perfect at 3 points (4/4), the winger showed all his versatility, adding 2 interceptions and 1 rebound to his stats sheet. A production appreciated by his coach, Mike Brown.
“Mo kept us in the game by hitting big shots. The more he’s on the court, the more comfortable he gets. It was really fun to watch.”
