The Knicks vowed they weren’t looking ahead to two key games later this week, contests that will go a long way toward determining their postseason positioning.
A slip-up against the rebuilding Rockets, the team with the second-worst record in the NBA, simply would not stand.
Immanuel Quickley dazzled with a career-high 40 points on 14-for-17 shooting — and even heard some late MVP chants — in his latest start in place of Jalen Brunson,Immanuel Quickley scored a career-high 40 points in the Knicks’ win over the Rockets on Monday.Julius Randle also kept his cool following three straight games with a technical foul and scored 26 points, while RJ Barrett added 19 as Tom Thibodeau’s team improved to 43-33 with six games remaining.
The two-time All-Star addressed the media for the first time since drawing his latest technical foul — and arguing with Quickley on his way off the court at halftime — in Thursday’s loss in Orlando.“Name a perfect leader. Name a perfect human being,” Randle said, adding there’s a fine line between being a competitor and keeping his cool. “I think it’s difficult for everybody. Credit to [the referees], they have a tough job, so it’s tough.
Quickley and Randle combined for 28 points in Monday’s first quarter, with Quickley’s 3-pointer giving him 13 in the first nine minutes. Quickley , Randle and Barrett totaled 54 points in the half as the Knicks carried a 66-61 advantage into intermission.

How Immanuel Quickley has inserted himself into the Sixth Man of the Year raceNEW YORK — There's a rhythm in Immanuel Quickley's step. His grooving gate is easy to spot even as Quickley's big brown eyes hide under the hood of his sweatsuit for pregame warmups. He's just a dancer. He cranks his shoulders when he finishes in the paint with the whistle. He pumps his fists, flashing three fingers before his face, whenever a big triple rinses through the net. And then he's prone to prancing back on defense, smiling as if it's all been choreographed for the Madison Square Garden crowd.
