Knicks 103 [win] 101 Kings
★Elfrid Payton ｜16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 0 turnovers
The Knicks won their "first" winning streak this season, thrillingly defeating the Kings by two points. Among them, the statistics of point guard Elfrid Payton who came on the bench were not the most eye-catching, but his plus-minus value of "+19", which topped the team, highlighted his value in the team, and he was still put on the court to struggle until the last moment.
In the last 5 minutes of the game, Payton hit two key jump shots to break the deadlock, helping the Knicks to take the lead early and keep the point difference with the Kings at a safe distance. This is also his second consecutive game in which he scored in double figures, shot at least 50% from the field, and played more than 25 minutes. He won the trust of the coaching staff with his solid organization and defense.
As for whether the coaching change really worked? This may still take time to test. But after surviving the "no point guard experiment" at the beginning of the season, Payton may really be able to stand out from the competition from DSJ and Ntilikina and find his own place in the Knicks.
