Where were you for the Cam Payne game?!

Sometimes you need unlikely heroes in the playoffs.

Read on Twitter


Also S/O to KAT who was a monster down the stretch!

KAT showed out on both ends in the 4th quarter. I tip my hat off to big bodega.

Thibs with the great adjustment to ride with cam over mikal.

Great come back win. Really happy we fought back after they were punking us.

So, like everyone was saying, our ability to control the 4th and rely on bench contributions such as those from Cam Payne will be the difference in this series.

What an amazing first playoff game as a Knick by KAT. 23 points on 10-14 FG, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals , 2 blocks and a plus 22. He, Cam, OG and the MSG crowd get the game ball.

Cam was cooking in the 2nd qtr too and Thibs only played him 5 minutes before yanking him. I think we had a 6 point lead at the time. Tom sucks at reading the game but glad he didn't F it up in the 4th. Game ball to Cam.
Fire Thibs!

Who had KAT starting his playoff career in NYC with 4 steals and 2 blocks? Holy crap...we need to get him more shots, but 23 points (10-14), 11 rebounds is awesome.

OG doing it on both ends...Cade had 6 turnovers. 44 minutes, 23 points, 5 steals, 2 blocks

Hart is so damn clutch when it counts.

Brunson showing up again, despite some dudes pretending Ausar Thompson was OG?

Cam Payne...this is why they signed him.

Lol at those glazing Ausar.

Towns’ defense was actually impressive. Good win. We took care of business

Cam Payne has more heart than anyone on the team.

Deuce has to show up
