RJ Barrett Leads All Scorers In Game 1 Against Miami
2 years agoNew York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett led his team in points and even outscored Jimmy Butler in Sunday's Game 1 loss to Miami, putting up 26 points on 10-for-20 shooting. It was a struggle for him from downtown with a 1-for-5 effort and Barrett shot barely over 60 percent at the free-throw line, but it was still an efficient performance from him and he wasn't all about scoring either. Barrett typically doesn't do much else besides scoring, but he had nine rebounds and seven assists on Sunday with one steal. It's an encouraging sign for the Knicks during a time when everybody needs to step up to limit the impact of Julius Randle's (ankle) absence.
