Robinson finished with six points, five rebounds, and an assist. But in a one-point game that came down to the final possession, Big Mitch made a big impact in a small amount of time.
“For the first game back, with the amount of time he’s been out, I thought it was really, really good,” Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said after the victory. “Just having the pick-and-roll defense, the rim protection, the rebounding, and he made a lot of good plays just moving on penetration, pressure on the rim offensively, those things are huge. “It opens up space for us, so the more you can open up space, the better our offense is gonna be.”
