Immanuel Quickley suddenly needs to rediscover his sixth sense. RJ Barrett can’t buy many buckets right now, either.
Quickley, the Knicks’ all-important Sixth Man of the Year finalist, puzzlingly endured his second consecutive quiet offensive game as theAnd Barrett now is shooting 25.0 percent through two games after missing eight of 12 attempts Tuesday night at Rocket Mortgage Field House.
“I haven’t played as well as I’ve wanted to obviously,” Quickley said. “Whether you’re missing shots or not, it’s never a reason not to play defense. So just gotta be better, defensively, everybody, but it starts with me. Looking in the mirror and just finding ways to help the team. Just being better overall.”

You start zero-for-zero. It’s 1-1 in the series, and you just move on to the next game.”Leading scorers Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson hit just 13 of 37 combined attempts, with Brunson shooting 1-for-8 from long distance.
