Immanuel Quickley saved his best for when the Knicks needed it the most.
CLEVELAND — Immanuel Quickley saved his best for when the Knicks needed it the most: When starters Julius Randle and Quentin Grimes were out and Jalen Brunson was off his game.
Quickley hit three 3-pointers and made all six of his free throws, to go along with his typical stout perimeter defense. He scored seven points in the fourth quarter, as the Knicks kept Cleveland at arm’s length and completed a gentleman’s sweep. Before Wednesday, Quickley had struggled on offense, although that didn’t mean he wasn’t a critical part of the Knicks’ success. He was the team leader in net rating and defensive rating over the first four games of the first-round series, meaning coach Tom Thibodeau’s team had outscored the Cavaliers by 22 points and had allowed just 80.8 points per 100 possessions with Quickley on the floor.
