Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba Andrew Wiggins on adjusting to Klay & Steph on the court together:
“I feel like I’m still getting the shots I want to get. I’m still getting the touches. Now, we have more weapons. We added another big weapon, with Klay in the starting lineup. It makes us that more dangerous.” – 1:47 AM

Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM Steve Kerr says Steph Curry didn’t play in fourth because game was pretty much decided. Kerr says he hasn’t heard anything on Steph’s finger which he had taped so he assumes everything is OK. – 12:42 AM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater Steph Curry just had a couple fingers on his left hand taped together. Typically the sign of a jammed finger. Warriors up 20 to open the 4Q, so if they keep that lead healthy, he probably won’t return. But looks able to, if needed. – 11:50 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews Steph Curry has left the court with Rick Celebrini. Steph had been fidgeting with his left hand — not the hand that held him out the other night — after banging it on a deflected ball a few minutes ago. – 11:47 PM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron Curry just came back to the bench after a brief visit to the locker room. Looked like he had been looking at his non-shooting hand. – 11:47 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater Steph Curry down the tunnel after exiting the game with Rick Celebrini. Stopped briefly to look at his left palm/hand (not the one he hurt the other night, a new issue). Celebrini and Curry decided it best they go to the locker room to check it out. Something to monitor. – 11:46 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe Curry just had a GP2 pass ricochet off his left hand. It clearly hurt as he grimaced and started shaking his hand. He’s still fidgeting with it. Hasn’t dribbled with his left hand since – 11:36 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Karl-Anthony Towns on playing at MSG:
“Everyone’s going to get a chance to have their MSG moment. I felt for me tonight, that was the biggest moment I’ve had at MSG. Great crowd, great atmosphere, great energy. And I got to silence everybody, so that made it even better.” – 11:06 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Karl-Anthony Towns after tonight’s 2-point win:
“We’ve always found ways to lose game like these (over the course of his career).”
KAT says he felt like this year, with this team that they now “deserve” these. – 10:53 PM

Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Karl-Anthony Towns on his late-game bucket over Julius Randle:
“That was Kentucky on Kentucky crime right there.” – 10:44 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps Crazy to think it wasn’t long ago that Kemba Walker was banished to the end of the Knick bench. He’s been great in his return tonight, and is carrying the Knicks home here down the stretch. – 9:55 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney Kemba Walker has 3-pointers for the Knicks’ last three baskets. Up to 19 points in his return and Knicks lead Wolves 107-102 with 3:40 to go. – 9:55 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper Fournier 10-12 for 26 points and the most impressive thing might still be blocking Edwards and stripping Towns on one possession. – 9:29 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper On one possession Evan Fournier blocked an Anthony Edwards drive without jumping and then stripped Karl-Anthony Towns to force a 24-second violation. – 9:14 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA The Wolves love to put DLo off-ball, guarding a wing so he can play free safety. A hiding spot.
That’s a little trickier tonight as those hiding spots are Barrett or Fournier. But Finch sticks with it, putting DLo on Fournier.
A DLo steal early, but also a few Fournier buckets. – 7:52 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopper As he readies for the opening tip, Karl-Anthony Towns pointed over to Thibodeau, who broke his game face to wave to his former player. – 7:42 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305 Caleb Martin is holding offensive players to 29% shooting in the month of January in the 4th quarter
Why is that significant?
The guys he’s guarded in that stretch have been De’Aaron Fox, Steph Curry, Chris Paul, Trae Young, Fred VanVleet, etc
He’s doing this to elite talent – 7:02 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps The Knicks say Kemba Walker is back in the lineup tonight after missing more than two weeks, and 10 games, with knee soreness. He will start. – 6:49 PM
Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN Kemba is a game time decision and will warm up. Not always, but usually from Thibs that means the player is available – 5:48 PM
Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba Andrew Wiggins on Detroit Pistons rookie Cade Cunningham:
“He’s a really good player. He came in ready and can do it all. He can score the ball. He can play make, defend. So, the sky’s the limit for him. He’s a good young player.” – 2:13 PM

Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba Andrew Wiggins talked about the team’s chemistry now that Klay Thompson is back.
“Klay is a hell of a player, great player. He’s one of the best shooters of all time. Soon as he’s on the court, he’s going to make the team better. That’s what he does.” – 2:04 PM
