Two starts, two good games in a row for Maurice Ndour. There is a trend here. I’m not about to lay it all out for you, because talented writers sometimes let their less-talented readers figure things out for themselves. Here’s a hint, though: the trend involves Maurice Ndour.
Ndour got off to a quick start in this one, scoring the Knicks’ first seven points with his incredible layup-making ability. I was thinking maybe 20 was in the future for him, but it wasn’t. I didn’t let myself get too excited this time, so I’m not all that disappointed. 15 points is still really good, his baseline jumper looks money, and he added a nice amount of defensive intensity for good measure. Knicks fans have to be pleased, if they are still capable of feeling anything besides negative emotions at all. They might not be.
