RJ Barrett played his best game of the season in the Knicks victory over the Hawks with 26 points, five assists and two steals.

Barrett talked about the Knicks’ good start to the season as reported by SNY:

“Playing hard. That’s it. We’re playing hard every single night. We’re fighting. As long as we do that, we should be ok. It starts with Thibs and then it goes all the way down. Julius is tough every night.

It goes all the way down the line. Everybody that comes in the game plays hard, plays with an edge. Everybody on the team contributes in many different ways and it’s been great so far.”
