Knicks Videos: "He's crafty, he has a high IQ...he's not overly fast or athletic, but he plays with a pace that's elite" Deuce McBride on the challenges in defending CJ McCollum.

Ian Begley: Talking to reporters today, Miles McBride was asked about using Game 3 loss as motivation entering Game 4: "I would say we're playing for our lives. It is a 7-game series and it's the first to four but it's ticking away; we don't want to leave it up to chance. We don't want to say we wish we could have or we wish we would have done this different. We want to take every opportunity, take every chance we can and take advantage of it. And get together as a team and figure it out."

Brown prefers to sit both Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns for the starts of the second and fourth quarters rather than stagger them and have one on the court. The lineup he uses instead — with Miles McBride, Landry Shamet, Jordan Clarkson and Mitchell Robinson on the floor — struggled in the Knicks’ 107-106 Game 2 loss to the Hawks on Monday night at Madison Square Garden. “We’ve played that lineup quite a bit at the end of the season,” Brown said. “That lineup’s been pretty good. We weren’t good tonight and we turned the ball over a few too many times during that period. But we had opportunities where our starters were in, and we were up eight to 10 [points] and Atlanta closed it. So I wouldn’t just say that specific lineup caused it.”

Mike Vorkunov: Mikal Bridges came out of tonight's Knicks game after 23 seconds, so he nominally extends his consecutive games streak to 638. Jordan Clarkson was walking to the scorer's table to sub in right at tip off and Deuce McBridge intentionally fouled a Hornet to stop the clock. Game 82, it's FANtastic!

Miles McBride played again in Tuesday’s 111-94 loss to the Rockets and made it through 13 minutes unscathed, although his shooting rhythm clearly took a hit as he went 1-for-9 from the field. “It’s tough having surgery in the middle of the season, especially on an area that’s so important to everything you do,” McBride said. “So it’s just going to be a learning process. I’m going to figure it out, though.”

Stefan Bondy: Miles McBride is playing tonight

The Knicks got some encouraging news with Miles McBride. They are listing him as questionable for their game against the Rockets in Houston on Tuesday. They listed the ailment as recovery for core muscle/pelvic surgery — the same as it was when he was out for two months. McBride had just returned on Sunday during the Knicks loss to the Thunder in Oklahoma City after missing the previous 28 games following surgery to repair a sports hernia.

Miles McBride took two months and 28 games to return. He lasted just one half. The Knicks guard appeared to hurt his groin area in the third quarter of Sunday’s 111-100 loss to the Thunder, limping off the court with fears he aggravated his surgically-repaired sports hernia. “I haven’t talked to medical yet, so I don’t know how bad it is. But it’s tough,” coach Mike Brown said. “He’s worked his tail off to be back. And I don’t think he made a shot in the first half, but he gave us a lift. You felt his presence. It made us deeper. And because of the foul trouble we had, we were a little shorthanded in that second half, and it was part of the reason they were able to pull away, too.”
