Tom Thibodeau on big Knicks win over Heat, their strong bench play, Julius Randle injury | SNY

I thought we played well, I knew we would get their best, you know, I thought they played well, it’s hard fought game, you know, every time like we got away they came back and then I thought we responded really well in reading close to third the way we hope to and then

The fourth we responded, you know in a very positive way and I thought in the first half I thought our bench gave us a good lift. Like we started the game slowly but the bench came in and they played great and second half was you know hard-fought game like when you

When we play these guys, we know what the type of game that it’s going to be on the show. You got to compete for All 48 minutes. There’s going to be runs both ways and you’ve got to respond anyone who’s coming back you’re watching, you know, like

I thought he moved okay, but I like the way precious was playing so we had a good rhythm with that group and we just stayed with it. I like the way he played a lot, you know, just Played hard made a couple of big shots, you know, so,

You know precious gave us really good minutes Josh gave us phenomenal minutes, you know and Quentin gave us really good minutes. I thought deuce in the first half was really good so that I think that was important for us then. Oh jeez. Oh, jeez push. I thought

Jalen was terrific. I thought Julius made a lot of big plays for us. So we got good production Dante shot the ball well, Elderly show that that was what we needed sprays obviously, but you know and we close the half on a pretty good run to now that was that was real good.

The the thing that you do you like about him is he there’s positive energy from them every day. So the the basketball part is, you know, that’s you know, we traded for him could we thought it was really good so in we gave up a lot for him to so he’s

Been great on both sides of the ball. He’s a great teammate. He’s very coachable. And so he’s been huge for us. And I think it’s helping the team. I think it’s twofold. I think we’re a good fit for him. And I think he’s a good fit for us. He’s being evaluated right now.

Other than that, you know shoulder. I know that, you know, obviously so when we have more information give it to you. I don’t know exactly you know, he’s back. with medical right now Very you know, but you know your concern any time someone gets hurt and

You know you hope for the best and that’s where we are. But I also feel that whoever if he’s out then we next guy get in there and get it done. The course of the Season you’re going to guys are going to get nicked up that’s part of this and so

The challenge for the guys who aren’t in the rotation is is to be ready. So The practices are there games and then you’re going to at some point everyone gets called upon and then respond. Well we count on everyone. So that’s the thing. I like about

Our team. The guys are invested in the team. They’re invested in each other. And so whoever gets in there just go everyone’s capable of executing well, so that’s all you have to do is get in there and execute it so hard both teams are hard playing so there’s gonna be a lot of

Tough plays like that. You don’t want to see I don’t want to see anyone get hurt, bro. You know our team or you know their team but that’s part of part of the game is the only way you can guarantee someone not getting hurt is you never apply,

You know, you can get hurt in practice. You can get hurt, you know coming back to shoot at night by yourself. There’s you know, so this part is part of the game and so, you know, whatever, you know, the you know, I love Julius. I know like

He’s going to give us whatever he can so that’s that’s the best part of them. You know, he has a very high pain tolerance. He’s he’s great worker loves the game in you know, it’s unfortunately, you know, he’s really worked hard all season long, you know to

Be off the summer not off because you know, he had to recover from the surgery but it wasn’t clear until training camp and then to be where he is. It’s a testament to him and the work he’s put in

In this Knicks post game news conference, head coach Tom Thibodeau commented on his team’s 125-109 win over the Miami Heat saying, “I thought we played well, I knew we’d get their best. Hard fought game. Every time we tried to pull away they came back and then we responded very well.” He praised the Knicks bench for their performance, especially Precious Achiuwa, who grabbed 10 rebounds and “worked hard.” Thibodeau had no further word on the right shoulder injury sustained by Julius Randle in the fourth quarter but that, “you’re always very concerned with any injury.” It was later revealed that Randle had possibly suffered a dislocated shoulder pending the results of an MRI.
