The New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes posted a career-best 33 points in the Dallas loss and rebounded from a poor shooting night (1-for-10) against the Spurs with 19 points in Houston.
Another Knicks’ second-year guard Miles McBride missed 24 of 32 field-goal attempts overall on the trip, but the team coach Tom Thibodeau likes the defensive intensity both players bring to the rotation.
“Grimes was terrific. And I thought even though Deuce didn’t shoot the ball well, I thought he played a really good game, too,” Thibodeau said. “I thought the defense of Deuce and Quentin was outstanding. And so everyone has a role. For those guys they can impact the game greatly with their defense and they usually do.”
