adminBarrett led New York to the next round.
The New York Knicks won 106-95 against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 of the 1st round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs held at the Cleveland Rockets Mortgage Fieldhouse on the 27th (hereinafter Korean time).
5-seeded New York was 3-1 in the series against 4-seeded Cleveland. If they catch up to today’s game, they can complete the upset and advance to the second round of the playoffs. However, bad news came during the game. Because King Julius Randle of New York left due to injury.
Randle was injured in the process of stopping Cleveland’s offense at the end of the second quarter. Randall’s injury was even more disappointing as he was in good shape with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
However, Randall’s vacancy was completely filled by RJ Barrett. Barrett was responsible for New York’s victory with 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, with a 53.8% field goal success rate (7/13).
Barrett showed his presence in the third quarter without Randle. He scored eight points through various offensive options, including three-pointers and free throws.
Barrett’s start to the series was not good. In the first two games of the series, he averaged 10.5 points, 24.0% field goal success rate, and 12.5% 3-point shooting success rate.
However, Barrett managed to revive in the third game with 19 points, 8 rebounds, and a field goal success rate of 66.7% (8/12). In Game 4, he bombed out 26 points. He boasted a steady performance on this day and was reborn as a constant in New York.온라인카지노
