Someone mentioned it earlier, but aside from Roy's dominance early, the Player of the Game for the last 30 minutes has to be Patrick Ewing. He stuck a couple of threes when no one else was, played good D, and made entry passes.How is it that he is the only one on the team who knows how effectively a fake before the actual entry pass is? His last one was a thing of beauty -- he didn't fake an entry pass, instead he started to dribble to the top of the key and faked a pass there. Not only did his defender buy it, but so did Roy's. When the pass came into Roy, the defender was in place as if Roy was going to move closer to the top of the key. He wasn't, of course, and top the heck out of the ball.
I totally agree. Points aside, Patrick has played extremely well down the stretch, and has been rewarded with increased minutes. He makes the entry pass better than almost anyone on the team. This is a particular weakness of Summers, IMO. Patrick has improved the most of anyone on the team since the beginning of the season.
