It’s been oddly quiet in here for pockets of time. That Hartenstein block on Gobert seemed to perk the crowd up. Knicks are 4-for-6 from 3 to open the game. Wolves 5-9 overall. 14-12 NYK. – 3:20 PM

Hartenstein rises and blocks Gobert dunk — someone please monitor all of Mitchell Robinson’s social media accounts because he’s going to have something on it. – 3:18 PM

OG Anunoby makes his first basket as a Knick: a corner 3. A pleasant sight given corner 3s are often available in the Knicks offense. – 3:14 PM

OG Anunoby begins his first game as a Knick guarding Anthony Edwards – exactly the kind of player he was acquired to go up against. – 3:11 PM

With Zach Collins out 2-4 weeks with an ankle injury, Spurs have signed Mamadi Diakite to a two-way contract. The 6-foot-9, 229-pound Guinean native and Virginia-ex will travel to Memphis.
Diakite recently played for the Westchester Knicks in the G League. – 2:25 PM

Spurs say they’ve signed F/C Mamadi Diakite to a Two-Way deal after recently releasing Charles Bediako.
Diakite most recently played for the Westchester Knicks, New York’s G League affiliate. – 2:17 PM

I would assume this is how the Wolves will matchup with the Knicks…
Hartenstein – gobert
Randle – towns
Anunoby – edwards
Divincenzo/Hart – conley
Brunson – mcdaniels
But I might like this better…
Hartenstein – gobert
Randle – mcdaniels
Anunoby – towns

Tom Thibodeau, in discussing the Knicks-Raptors trade, at least three times mentions the job Leon Rose has to do. Which is another reminder that Rose is beyond overdue to talk to the media. – 1:38 PM

OG Anunoby was asked if he’s a natural fit for the Knicks and Tom Thibodeau: “Yeah I think so. I think I’m a tough player. His players are tough. They play hard, play to win. I think I do all of those things.” pic.twitter.com/IIWlb20htt – 1:30 PM

Tom Thibodeau says OG Anunoby’s positional size and versatility make him a really valuable player. The Knicks haven’t had a player with Anunoby’s defensive versatility, plus he’s a knockdown shooter. Thibodeau also said he believes his age gives him an ability to improve still. – 1:22 PM

Knicks fans are going to fall in love with OG Anunoby rather quickly
New York hasn’t had an apex predator defender on the perimeter like him in a looooooong time – 12:52 PM

OG Anunoby was asked about his big scoring game vs Knicks at MSG earlier this year and what he remembers about it. After a pause, Anunoby said “I just remember that we lost, that’s it.” – 12:43 PM

“Creating for my teammates. When I was in New York I was scoring a lot but making my teammates better is something I wanna show here.” – 11:33 AM

RJ Barrett is unsure if he’ll play tonight, though he did practice. Still taking in everything that comes with getting traded.
“I know nothing.” – 11:27 AM
