But the story of this game will be...

Where Was Jalen?!

For reasons known only to him, Thibodeau kept him on the bench for over 4'!, checking him back in at 7:55. His first activity of any kind--I googled him to see if he was hurt--was a missed shot at 4:27. Not until :47 secs left, and NY down 7, does his name next appear in the play-by-play, a block on Nembhard. :37 left, a second shot, a second miss; :21.1, a take foul. NY was down 10; :16 left his first make, cutting the lead to 9--the game was over! That. Was. It.
