Lots of notes tonight:

1. At halftime this felt like a game the Knicks would lose. They shot it really well but had a small lead. As they have most of the year, Thibodeau's Knicks withstood a Hawks run and stayed hot offensively. Really nice win against a dangerous Hawks team.

2. Julius Randle played like a top ten player today. His three point shot this season has been a revelation. Can't say enough good things about him.

3. Good bounceback game from Barrett with two catch and shoot threes in the fourth. Jumper looked good today.

4. Thibs played Rose and Quickley w/ Randle, Barrett, + Noel to close the game. Nice to see flexibility w/ his lineups. Quickley continues to impress.

5. Nerlens Noel is not Mitchell Robinson but his rim protection was essential tonight. Big diff in 2nd half w/ no foul trouble.
