“#Knicks’ RJ Barrett continuing to thrive<\/strong>”

After shooting the lights out on the opening night of the season, RJ Barrett stumbled into some rough patches, the second of which coincided with the midst of a losing streak.<\/p>\n

But despite the Knicks had their three-game<\/a> winning streak snapp<\/a>ed Friday night against the Kings in Sacramento, Calif., Barrett has rediscovered his touch and was making a major impact in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just trying to work hard and grind every day,\u201d Barrett said after scoring a career-high 28 points on 10-for-17 shooting in Thursday\u2019s win over the Warriors. \u201cThat\u2019s really what we\u2019re trying to do. We\u2019re really focused. We\u2019ve been giving it our all and we\u2019re going to continue to do that throughout the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Friday\u2019s 103-94 loss to the Kings, Barrett had 21 points on 8-for-17 shooting \u2014 including going 2-for-2 from 3. Over his past five games entering Friday, Barrett had averaged 21.8 points \u2014 on 51.4 percent shooting and 38.9 percent from deep \u2014 to go with 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists. In the 10 games before that stretch, he was shooting just 33.1 percent from the floor and 12.8 percent from beyond the arc \u2014 numbers that were boosted by two games in the middle in which the lefty briefly got hot and shot 18 of 34 from the floor and 5-for-10 from three.<\/p>\n
