A players only meeting could suggest that the team is getting desperate. The latest to reportedly have one are the New York Knicks. There might not have some truth though in some reports according to Josh Hart who recently said the team need to do some soul searching.
The Knicks broke in the winning column again after losing four straight by routing their rivals Brooklyn Nets. Immediate questions from the media is about the role of the players only meeting on the victory.
Hart suggests the meeting was not that serious.
“We talked, but it wasn’t like some big thing. So that got dragged. We didn’t have a players-only meeting,” he said.
“We know what we have to do. We cleared stuff up yesterday in film and practice and today in walkthroughs. We know we haven’t been playing up to our capabilities, but we’re gonna continue to play off this win.”
The win broke the Knicks’ four-game losing streak. This should also end the booing they are getting from fans lately.
New York Knicks played defense
Knicks defense was merciless on Wednesday as they limited the Nets to 66 points. Their rival only had 10 points in the fourth quarter and they suffered the worst defeat in franchise history.
Nets’ top scorer Michael Porter Jr. was limited to 12 points.
Karl-Anthony Towns said the win reflected what they have always been capable of.
“A win. That was the most important thing, just finding a way to break the ice and get one in the left column,” KAT told reporters after the game.
“So good game, good day for us to show what we’re capable of, but consistency is what makes champions and we’ve got to find that consistency and bring this kind of intensity and energy and execution every single night.”
