Overview
- Following Thursday’s 114-103 loss in Charlotte, Robinson wrote on Instagram that the Knicks are not doing anything special unless they change their approach, adding that he includes himself.
- The Knicks were beaten on the glass by 19 and finished with only 24 total rebounds, their lowest in 13 years according to MSG Sports Network’s Alan Hahn.
- A pregame mic’d clip showed Robinson teaching rookie center Ariel Hukporti how to read misses, using OG Anunoby’s shot arc to explain where rebounds tend to land.
- The defeat ended a seven-game win streak and cost New York a shot at the East’s No. 2 seed, leaving the Knicks 48-26 with little room for error as the regular season winds down.
- Robinson also acknowledged the poor performance in a Snapchat reply to a fan, and the Knicks now head to play the West-leading Thunder on Sunday with urgency to fix effort and interior play.
