The Knicks’ Big 3 came up so small in Game 3.
Tom Thibodeau’s team can withstand an off shooting night from one of its three leading scorers — Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett — but none of that trio got going offensivelyIn the Knicks’ season-low offensive output, Randle, Brunson and Barrett were limited to a combined 16-for-51 from the floor and 2-for-17 from 3-point range as the Knicks fell behind 2-1 in the series entering Monday’s Game 4.
“There’s a lot of eyes on me when I drive the ball, so I have to be able to find guys and get them in the right positions to take their shots. It starts with me, and I know I’ve said this before, I got to be better.” Jalen Brunson reacts in pain after getting hit in the face during the Knicks’ 105-86 Game 3 loss to the Heat. It was a rough game for Brunson and his other Big 3 members, Julius Randle and RJ Barrett.Thibodeau acknowledged that Brunson “may have tweaked” the injury, but the point guard insisted, “I’m all good and I’ll be ready for Game 4.”
“We’ve seen their zone before, they played a lot of zone last game,” Barrett said. “Got to be smart, get into the middle, get into the gaps, make plays.Corey Sipkin for the NY Post
