Jose Alvarado is out and being evaluated, and Knicks coach Mike Brown gave no timeline: "I don't know how long." Tyler Kolek takes on more. "He can't let pressure bother him or disrupt our offense at all," Brown said. On defense, "he's got to be a pest."
Mike Brown called Tyler Kolek's minutes off the bench "tremendous" and said he did "a fantastic job running the team" and was solid on defense. Brown said his rotation sheet guides him at the start of each half; after that, "you just got to go with your gut."
