The New York Knicks shooting guard Immanuel Quickley refused to use his career-high 55 minutes in the double-overtime win Sunday at Boston as an excuse for his shooting woes the past two games. 

“No, I don’t think so, and I never think that really missing shots [means] you’re struggling,” he said. “Because you can play good without shooting. Thibs says that all the time. Just trying to focus in on defense and other things that can help the team win.”
