RJ Barrett Paces Knicks In Seventh Straight Win
4 years agoNew York Knicks shooting guard RJ Barrett was the team's top scorer as they rolled to a seventh straight victory on Tuesday by beating Charlotte 109-97. The second-year player had 24 points on 8-for-17 shooting. All-Star Julius Randle took it easy this time with 16 points. Barrett had a couple of very quiet outings at the start of last week, but he's since then bounced back with two 24-point efforts in three games. Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta puts the 20-year-old again in a nice spot to perform. The Hawks haven't handled opposing shooting guards well all season and Barrett has averaged 23.5 points in two outings against them.
