Mitchell Robinson walked into the locker room late Wednesday night, his jersey still on, and announced his arrival as only he can.His unlikely clutch free-throw shooting helped the Knicks extend their season for at least one more game within Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Miami intentionally fouled Robinson twice in the fourth quarter, as opponents once used to do to Shaquille O’Neal, and Robinson hit three of four to the delight of the Garden crowd.
“It felt great in that moment for them to believe in me,” Robinson said, referring to the sold-out crowd. “Knocking them down for the team and stuff like that, it’s amazing.” The Heat first fouled Robinson with 5:17 left and the Knicks leading by six. At that point, he had been 7-for-25 from the line in the postseason. He split a pair.
