Cam Payne was a spark plug off the bench as Tom Thibodeau expanded his bench in Monday\u2019s 119-100 victory over the Hawks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Payne had 10 points in just 12 minutes, with his four-point play in the third quarter serving as key to the game-altering run. <\/p>\n
Payne also picked up a technical foul during that sequence, which he explained to The Post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been praying to get that call for eight or nine games,\u201d said Payne, who was fouled by a closing defender as he launched the trey. \u201c[The official I said something to, Danielle Scott] saw the play but didn\u2019t call it. Somebody else called it. And I was a little upset. I was fired up. I was like, \u2018You were right there and you didn\u2019t call it.\u2019 I didn\u2019t think I was going to get a tech for it. But she heard me. It was OK.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the first game of a back-to-back, Thibodeau moved his rotation from eight to nine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Landry Shamet returned after consecutive DNPs, entering the game as the third sub before Payne. He finished with three points in 10 minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The four subs were Shamet, Payne, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa. Jericho Sims logged a DNP after starting the previous two contests because of a thumb injury to Karl-Anthony Towns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In terms of rest, the biggest benefactor of the expanded rotation was Mikal Bridges, who leads the NBA in minutes but finished Monday playing just 27 \u2014 well below his average. They play at the Nets on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nice man,\u201d Bridges said. \u201cWe got a lot of players, 1 through 15. So it\u2019s good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Josh Hart, who started Monday after being listed as questionable with a cervical compression, explained to The Post that the injury had been bothering him for a while before it was inflamed in Friday\u2019s loss to the Timberwolves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been lingering for two weeks but [Friday night] was the one that really did it,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hart, who finished with 14 points, nine and five assists, said prior to tipoff that he\u2019ll have to manage pain while hoping to avoid further aggravation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think if I get hit in my shoulder or back, it will hurt like hell,\u201d Hart said. \u201cBut hopefully if I do get hit, hopefully it doesn\u2019t lock up for a duration of time. But I can deal with that pain.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hart was in clear pain Friday after colliding with teammate Sims. He was jostling for a rebound and was shoved on his back by Minnesota\u2019s Jaden Daniels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t run into Jericho, I got pushed into Jericho,\u201d Hart said. \u201cBut it was that play.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Asked when he originally injured his shoulder\/neck\/back, Hart said, \u201cCouldn\u2019t even tell you. I think it might have the Orlando game here [Jan. 6]. I went for a layup, I think. I\u2019m not worried about it too much.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A shirtless and slim Mitchell Robinson said in the Knicks locker room Monday that he\u2019s down to 265 pounds \u2014 three fewer than just three days prior. <\/p>\n
The center is recovering from ankle surgery with no set timeline but, according to Thibodeau, should return to practice in January. <\/p>\n
He has struggled with fitness and conditioning coming off injuries so his weight is significant.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
