Tyler Kolek finished a team-best plus-17. It was likely his best game of the season — and perhaps career. “Tyler did a fantastic job today, our young fella, of impacting winning,” Karl-Anthony Towns said. “He did that on a big stage tonight. I think one of his finest games as an NBA player was tonight, and may not show up on the stats sheet, but everybody in our locker room knows how important he was to us tonight. And if you were watching the game as a Knicks fan or just a fan of basketball, he showed what it is to be ready and to be ready for his opportunity, and he maximized it tonight.”
