Allonzo Trier, Mitchell Robinson, and the Knicks lost their 18th straight game on Wednesday night, limping the team and franchise one game before the All-Star break.
Rookie center Mitchell Robinson recorded his third career double-double in Wednesday night’s loss to Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Allonzo Trier had a positive game, too; the undrafted rookie guard scored 19 points and dished out four assists in 27 minutes off the pine.
Robinson’s third double-double totaled 14 points, 10 rebounds, and four thunderous blocks…including against All-Stars Jimmy Butler and Joel Embiid.
Mitch looked absolutely impactful in a game that looked dead on arrival. The Knicks entered Wednesday losing a franchise record 18 straight games and the Sixers received reinforcement Tobias Harris, a borderline All-Star snub this year, from the Clippers on their Eastern Conference contending trajectory. The Long Island, New York, native Harris notched 25 points, six rebounds, and three assists against the ‘Bockers.
Meanwhile, Trier scored an efficient 5-for-9 from the field including 3-of-4 from long range and six trips to the free throw line—sinking every shot from the charity stripe.
