Walt Clyde Frazier is 80 years old! The starting guard of the Knicks’ only two championship teams, in 1970 and 1973, joined the octogenarian club on Saturday. On Sunday, the Knicks hosted the Portland Trailblazers and beat them 110-93. New York got team highs of 28 points from forwards OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges.
The Knicks improved their record to 47-27. “I thought the defensive activity and intensity picked up. Once the ball pressure got better, we got some steals, we got some blocks, and then we got into the open floor, got some fast break points, and then we got into a good rhythm,” Knicks Head Coach Tom Thibodeau said after the game. “OG and Makil are playing at a very, very high level, and then Josh did all the things he normally does.”
The Knicks now have eight games remaining until the playoffs begin. They have the third best record in the Eastern Conference. Their best player Jalen Brunson has been out for almost three weeks and has missed 12 games. He is on the mend and should be back on the court before the end of the regular season. Knicks played Philadelphia Tuesday and play in Cleveland Wednesday night.
