Stefan Bondy: Obi Toppin and Rick Brunson got into a heated argument last night in Philly, sources confirmed. My understanding is they smoothed it over after game and they have a strong enough relationship after Rick trained Obi during predraft process. Obi also played really well after argument

Al Horford is out tonight for Boston in New York, in addition to Robert Williams and Danilo Gallinari.
With the Celtics all but certain to spend long chunks of this game playing small, could be another opportunity for the Knicks to try Obi Toppin and Julius Randle together. – 12:57 PM

Knicks have been falling off in 2nd half of games. Looked like that’s where tonight was going, but they found another gear in the 4th quarter.
That’s the fight Knicks fans have wanted to see. Obi Toppin and Cam Reddish deserve huge credit for igniting that fire off the bench. – 9:38 PM

Obi Toppin leads Knicks in BPM, shooting 14-30 from 3, averaging 24 pts per 36 and still averaging fewer than 20 mpg in season #3. Getting a little silly. – 9:37 PM

The Knicks beat the Sixers, sans Embiid and Harden, by 2 points. Philly held a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter. Then, Obi Toppin kind of happened.

More on this storyline
“My trainer, August Mendes, and I, we were looking over film in Arizona while we were working out,” Holmes told The Athletic. “And we were looking at Obi (Toppin)’s team in 2019-20, and the way they played, the style of play. Obviously, Obi played a big factor in it. So we actually reached out to Dayton, Coach (Lynn) Greer talked to the coaching staff, and thankfully they were able to give me an offer.” -via The Athletic / November 2, 2022
