The New York Knicks star RJ Barrett took 20 shots and made 14 of them. He hit all six of his 3-point attempts and finished the night with 44 points in a 118-117 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday.

“Scored 40, it’s hard to not feel that,” Barrett said. “That’s also a game where I took shots I was comfortable with, so it didn’t feel out of the ordinary. Just made more that night. I took shots I’m comfortable with, shots I work on. Teammates were finding me.”
