The Knicks defeated the Clippers, 116-90, led by RJ Barrett’s 24 points. Tyronn Lue continued to showcase his unorthodox approach as a coach, and although it was unsuccessful on Sunday, it once again grabbed the attention of Thibodeau. “I think Ty’s always stayed true to himself,” Tom Thibodeau said of the Clippers coach. “He’s not afraid to try things. As a player he was a little bit of a gambler, we used to have to sit on him a little bit but it’s just and again he’s a student of the game so having an understanding of what works and not be afraid to try something different, I think he’s always had that. He’s a risk-taker and it’s served him well but that’s his personality.”
