The Knicks have come to expect strong fill-in performances whenever Miles McBride is needed in the starting lineup.<\/p>\n
He was so needed Thursday night with Josh Hart sidelined with a knee injury, and McBride delivered a season-high 23 points with five made 3-pointers, three steals and three blocked shots in 42 minutes in the Knicks\u2019 113-111 overtime win over the Bulls.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt probably was being out there longer, honestly,\u201d McBride said confidently after the game. \u201cI feel like I can make an impact in any way when I\u2019m out there and I\u2019m able to play two ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
With OG Anunoby (foot) also sidelined, this marked McBride\u2019s first start in 45 appearances this season, and he made the most of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever he\u2019s in the starting lineup or comes off the bench, he has the same mentality, the same energy,\u201d Jalen Brunson said. \u201cI just love the way he\u2019s grown into the player he is, the way he works, the confidence, the way he\u2019s been successful.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery proud of him, very happy for him. Just love to see him out there, whenever he\u2019s out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Billy Donovan starred at Providence under Rick Pitino in the heyday of the Big East in the 1980s, and the current Bulls head coach and Naismith Hall of Fame finalist said he\u2019s \u201cnot surprised\u201d that the 72-year-old Pitino has fronted a resurgence at St. John\u2019s this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look at all the situations he\u2019s taken over, it\u2019s generally the second year where his teams have made a huge jump,\u201d Donovan said before Thursday\u2019s game against the Knicks at MSG. \u201cI\u2019m really, really happy for him \u2014 one, being from New York and two, St. John\u2019s has got incredible tradition and history with their basketball program.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me to see him back doing what he loves doing at the level he loves doing in a conference he\u2019s always had great admiration and respect for, I couldn\u2019t be happier for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donovan, a Long Island native, was a star guard on Providence\u2019s Final Four squad in 1987. St. John\u2019s is in first place in the Big East (14-2, 23-4 overall) in Pitino\u2019s second year at the Queens school.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe loves the game of basketball. Every waking moment is basketball,\u201d Donovan said. \u201cThere are always, I think, challenges that are there, but when you have the level of passion he has and the love of the game, you figure those things out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also remained out for the Knicks, while forward Patrick Williams (quad) was sidelined for Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
