Recap: Rockets 131, Knicks 103
Hopefully the Knicks had a great Thanksgiving dinner, because they’re Thanksgiving Eve and Black Friday were absolutely horrendous. Following their late game loss to the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night, the Knicks put up a pitiful performance tonight against the Houston Rockets, losing by a score of 131-103. The Rockets were led by the duo of James Harden (33 points) and Chandler Parsons (31 points). The two combined to shoot 20-for-32 from the field (7-of-12 from beyond the arc) and 17-of-18 from the free throw line, with Harden alone shooting a perfect 16-for-16 from the charity stripe. The Knicks were led by the hot hand of Carmelo Anthony, who finished with 37 points on 14-for-24 shooting (7-for-12 from beyond the arc).
Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik Are Very Different
The Houston Rockets signed Omer Asik to a three year, $25.1 million offer-sheet. Multiple reports say it’s very unlikely for the Bulls to match that offer, mainly because of the way it’s laid out. Asik is set to make $5 million in year one, ~$5 million in year two, then will see his salary balloon up to $15 million in the third and final year.
