Grimes poured in 23 points on 8-for-11 shooting (5 out of 7 from 3), he played superb defense and often made life difficult for Trae Young.
Better, he did this after playing 40 ½ minutes in the win over Cleveland Sunday night. After getting a late start on the season because of a balky left foot, that’s not exactly incidental news.“I think I’m fully back,” Grimes said. “It took me a couple of weeks to get fully back but I feel good.”
And when you toss in his shooting Wednesday … well, that makes for a genuine 3-and-D player. And that’s something the Knicks have been crying out for. Thibodeau’s decision to shorten his rotation, after already cutting Evan Fournier out of the lineup a few weeks ago, has opened up minutes for a few of the Knicks’ kids. Grimes is in the starting lineup now and it may take an act of Congress to get him out of there, as effectively as he’s playing on both ends. Deuce McBride has replaced Derrick Rose for now as Jalen Brunson’s backup at the point.Quentin Grimes takes a layup against the Hawks.
That’s a saying he’s brought with him from his basketball upbringing in Cincinnati, and it refers to making sure everyone around him gets a fair share of touches. Thibodeau would surely endorse that, and might add his own corollary: there’s charm in defense, too. And as much as Grimes’ shooting might’ve electrified the 18,901 inside the Garden, it was the other side that satisfied his coach.
