AP<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps just as important, though, he played 31 minutes, his biggest workload of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt definitely feels good,\u201d Robinson told The Post. \u201cFirst time playing 30 minutes. Just getting out there and playing like that, to see the buildup, all the hard work I put in with this plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robinson has already played more games than either of the past two seasons. The Knicks\u2019 load management plan for him \u2014 not playing both legs of back-to-backs, and at times sitting non back-to-back games \u2014 has clearly worked, even it\u2019s been frustrating at times.<\/p>\n<p>His workloads are only increasing. That\u2019s a good development for the Knicks heading into the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s obviously shown that it\u2019s paid off,\u201d coach Mike Brown told The Post, \u201cbecause of his ability to, knock on wood, stay on the floor and play in games and play the minutes he played tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns both missing Friday\u2019s game due to knee soreness, Jeremy Sochan was out due to illness.<\/p>\n<p>Pacome Dadiet, with the Knicks shorthanded, got very rare non-blowout minutes. In fact, Dadiet, along with Ariel Hukporti, came in together as Brown\u2019s first subs of the game in the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Dadiet promptly drilled a 30-foot 3-pointer from the logo as the shot clock expired in the first quarter. He also got a brief stretch of action in the third quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An image collage containing 1 images, Image 1 shows Mitchell Robinson, who grabbed 22 rebounds, drives on Ivica&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":657998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3774],"tags":[4990,7,113,126,3866,532,2724,327,563,304,1247,6,114],"class_list":["post-657997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-indiana-pacers","tag-ariel-hukporti","tag-basketball","tag-indiana","tag-indiana-pacers","tag-indianapacers","tag-ivica-zubac","tag-jeremy-sochan","tag-josh-hart","tag-karl-anthony-towns","tag-knicks","tag-mitchell-robinson","tag-nba","tag-pacers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116227766516598213","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/657998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
