The New York Knicks faced off against the Charlotte Hornets, and they were competitive, but they ended up losing 94-90. Duane Washington Jr had a strong game, putting up 26 points while hitting four of his eight shots from deep. If he can continue to hit those shots from deep, that is going to really help the Knicks. Jacob Toppin also had a strong game, putting up 19 points while shooting 2 of his 3 shots from deep. No other player scored more than nine points, and they are going to need others to step up here.
