Scores of New Yorkers flock to South Florida in March for Spring Break to have a jolly time, and Friday night, the Knicks’ youngsters had the time of their lives.
After a real boring three quarters, with the Knicks trailing the might Heat by 17 points, they started throwing a party — with Immanuel Quickley and rookies Miles McBride, Quentin Grimes and Jericho Sims at the life of that party.
Quickley exploded for 23 points — 20 in the final period — and sealed the victory with six straight free throws. It marked coach Tom Thibodeau’s first win over Miami since he became the Knicks’ head coach last season. He was 0-5 entering the contest. After back-to-back 3 pointers by Grimes — one set up by an offensive rebound by Sims — the Knicks took their first lead since early in the first quarter at 97-94 with 4:55 left.
The Knicks made most of their big fourth-quarter surge with RJ Barrett on the bench amid a rough night and Julius Randle out for a third straight game with a sore quad. Evan Fournier also sat the entire fourth quarter after a shoddy shooting night . Obi Toppin added 15 points for the Knicks, but wasn’t part of the fourth-quarter romp, when Taj Gibson was the second big on the court.
